We Are The First Responders
We are the first responders
The many in the blue
We protect you from the fires
And from those who would harm you
We heal with a helping hand
And respond to all who call
We are the first responders
The ones who see it all
You ask us to protect you
And you call when you're in need
You get mad if we're a minute late
To a crime we cant forsee
You run quickly from the fire
We run toward the burning flames
You take the drugs to harm yourself
Still we treat you just the same
We see a fear that's in your eyes
Yet we stand straight and true
We are the first responders
And we do this all for you

A tribute to the brave heros who lost lives on 9/11 and those who work and have worked as our country's first responders. This is a repost of one of my earlier poems and one I hope touches people and makes them think about those who serve us everyday and those who have given all to help others.
