A Firefighter's Farewell If you cry a tear for me Remember that though it seems Death has conquered…my valor did too For I’ve lived the life of my dreams Being a firefighter was my calling A hope and a dream fulfilled As I was blessed to save many others Courage combined with skill And I know when I meet my maker My God will be satisfied That I’ve cared for others more than myself Through a lifetime of sacrifice ALT. Verse: Through resolute sacrifice For I’ve battled the tortured infernos Seeking the wounded, trapped, and afraid I still feel deep sorrow for those I’ve lost Greatest joy for the lives that I’ve saved And though it breaks my heart to leave you I want my life to always be A reminder of how much I’ve loved you My friends and family For in the eyes of every person that I helped There I saw the reflections of you You were the source of my bravery And my fellow firefighters too ALT Vs. And my firefighting brotherhood too ALT Vs. And my firefighting family too ALT Vs. And Engine Company (Number) too So having lived the life of my dreams My body…in peace…now can rest And my spirit’ll rejoice in heaven, while I still Watch over all whom I’ve loved and I’ve blessed Copyright © 2012 Poems And Reflections LLC.
