Our Brotherhood of Heroes
Karen Nelson


As we go through our lives so complacent,
Taking safety and freedom in stride,
Don’t forget there are those with their lives on the line,
Facing danger and death - side by side.

Regardless the size or shape of the “Beast”,
These Titans of Might gear up and proceed.
Calmly dealing with horrors we cannot imagine,
Determined - they answer the need.

There is no way to measure the depth of their daring
As a world-class performance they give.
If they fall or are maimed in the course of their day,
They do so that the rest of us live.

We must also remember their families,
Who support them and manage the home.
For they know any day, fate could spirit away
Their loved one and leave them alone.

God be with all you, uniformed Champions,
As you each give the effort of ten.
For your valor and courage, strength of spirit and heart,
THANKS and BLESS YOU – again and again.
