Fallen Hero Off you went some life to save, But 'twas your own that you gave. Maybe in a building trapped, Or on the ground you collapsed. Help was there, it came so fast, But your life it is now passed. We press on, we do our job, There\'ll be time soon for to sob. Then the day, a darkened sky, We must say our last goodbye. Now you\'re placed down in the ground, As all around make not a sound. Left behind a proud mother, A sister or a brother. A sad and tearful young wife, Who must now go on with life. Children who don't understand, We must now help make them grand. Your memory must now go on, We must learn to carry on. Back to work we must now go, Inspired by your bright glow. Lives go on but yet we know, You've become our fall'n hero.     Copyright 2002 Ryan Dennett Poem cited from American-Firefighter. com       Back to the Memorial Page
