This poem was posted in another forum, one of my feedback suggested that I move it to here. It is original, I hope you can at least enjoy it. Please feel free to comment on it, you may also use it for fire prevention week education or whatever, provided that you PLEASE just tell me that you are doing so.
The two simple things
By Lisa O'(SALO')
The brave firefighters in uniform
Boldly venture out into the storm
To stop the monster blazing wild
Before it takes another child.
These are our brothers, sisters, friends,
Their courage and honor never ends.
They take on each fire one by one
And fight and struggle until the job is done.
There can be no peace quite as sweet,
Than for them to show up on the street.
And find the family whose home is ablaze
To be all safe and sound at their meeting place.
A fire drill that was done to prepare
Helped that family get out of there.
So when they heard the detector sound,
They knew by practice not to hang around.
The firefighters still must go
But the one thing they are glad to know
Is that the people are all outside
Which makes the risk of harm subside.
For here can be no greater loss
Than for a firefighter to pay the cost
For his or her service to the community
With life or limb or tragedy.
So do your fire drill, do it now.
And learn about the where and how
That you can place each fire alarm
To get you out before any harm.
If we do these two simple things,
What joy and sweet relief it brings.
To the brave souls who will surely come
To put out the fire if it strikes your home.
