She wipes away her last tear
while wishing he was here
here to hold her, to tell her everything is going to be okay
and not worry and just pray
but not for him, but for the others that have been lost
lost in the fires that have been taken lives at a high cost
the brave ones who would not back down from a fire
no matter the size, after all its why they were hired
to give all they have and nothing in return
to do their job, something we could take from and learn
her father was a firefighter, the best one in her eyes
loving him for what he does and that's saving peoples life's
she always knew the risk he always had to take
being safe, never making a mistake
she was raised to be tough and tough she will be
something her father will proudly see
she will no longer mourn but will celebrate
celebrate her fathers life, somebody who is great
in her eyes he was never close to a zero
he defined one word and that was, a Hero
