In a Child's Eyes

In a child's eyes a fireman is a hero.

When he is battling a dangerous blaze,

he is not in the spotlight for fame,

but just to save property and lives,

its in their heart you know.

A fireman is brave day and night,

twenty-four seven,

because he knows a higher power

is watching over down from heaven.

A fireman leaves his own family

to respond to a call,

saying to his wife, "I'm sorry dear,

I've got to go, but I still love you all."

Rushing to the station not knowing

what dangers he will face,

but to return home hours later

with a smile on his face.

A fireman is unique in doing what her does,

saying he is not a hero,

just doing something he loves.

Saying a fireman is not a hero

may not be true every time,

but for the child's eyes who wrote this,

grew up and became a fireman are mine.
