My Hero

You risk your life every time you go out, i thought it was time you knew that you're more than just my father, You're my hero.

No Fear, You’re always strong, standing tall to face the fiery breath of Hell. All eyes on you, Your men love you, always looking to you for command on the scene. The Dragon, They know that to face the beast with you is to fight another day. Your strength, You drive them on with words and deeds, giving them heart and courage. You Lead, No task is too great, no job to menial, you do them all right beside the rest. Your Heart, You watch over them, eagle eyed for any sign of pain or weakness, None Forgotten They know that you will never leave a man behind; you will always be the last out. Fire Fighter, The Men that walk where the Devil Dances, the proud, the insanely brave. My Father, The man that gives me strength to greet each morning, and the drive to capture my dreams. My Hero.

And from the heart it is very well expressed and crafted! It invokes a deep sense of longing and timeless romance. I loved the way you presented this, like many poems in one.. Thanks for sharing!

Oh yes, and from the heart it flows! I could not find fault with a single word of it as it truly does show your great love and admiration for your father! We owe our firefighters so very, very much appreciation for what they do to protect us each day!
This is truly a beautiful tribute.....WELL DONE!

What a tribute.
You can feel how genuine & truthful it is.
I haven't read many tributes but yours was so touching.
How you compare the aspects of your father to so many things, really moving.
You have much talent & evidently, a loving dad.
Cherish both.

Yours truly,
