9/11 First Responders
For those who run toward danger
Who see beyond their eyes
Whose consummating goodness
Their rugged look belies
Whose children want to picnic
Whose lovers want to sing
Yet nothing save this moment
To face this awful thing.
For those who run toward danger
To save their fellow man
Nobility, grace, honor
And heartache for our land.
James P. West, (2001)
