9/11 a day to remember....

[Ms Grumpy]

A beautiful poem that I found. This was written for all the police and firemen of 9/11. Shall we never forget !

Brave warriors in suits of armor yellow and black,
Answering a call for help without question they go on the attack.
Mounting their powerful steeds of gleaming gold and red,
Of their fears and worries nothing is said.
They race to the battle, an unforgiving demon to slay,
Until the task is complete not one will stray.
Working to exhaustion as their chest's pound,
Into the lair of the beast, insane as it may sound.
To snatch a person from death is the goal and greatest reward,
It's what all the preparation and self sacrifice is geared toward.
They love their country and all their neighbors the same,
It's a vocation that provides little financial profit or gain.
Their mission is simple the American dream to defend,
A life to save, a home to protect, to this they will tend.
