A Villanelle to Fire Fighters
As heroes they stand, proud and great
Performing brave deeds, they press on fearlessly
Changing others’ lives, and changing others’ fates
Valiant men go knocking on death’s gate
Sparing others, they will never stop and flee
As heroes they stand, proud and great
In the face of danger, even in checkmate
They push on fearing nothing, relentlessly
Changing others’ lives, and changing others’ fates
Big or small, first or second rate
They hesitate not a moment fearfully
As heroes they stand, proud and great
Whether tired or sweaty, no matter in what state
They rescue damsels or dames in distress they see
Changing others’ lives, and changing others’ fates
In a heartbeat they are there, never late
Ready to risk their lives, their courage is key
As heroes they stand, proud and great
Changing others’ lives, and changing others’ fates
