The Brave

Here on our home turf, Mother Earth, live heroic men who show their worth by putting duty and honor first. These courageous, bold, determined men (who are everyone’s friend) take bravery where it has never been. They are strong, brave, and unafraid as they sweat, toil, and slave; fight, attack, and engage in a never-ending war with hellfire infernos that rage and blaze out of control. But these men with strength and might (shining knights of life) battle on when hope is just about gone (in the rain, heat, or winter cold with their truck, hook, and water hose) to not just save land and property, but the lives and life of people’s souls with their big, strong hearts that are as good as gold. They infinitely battle with fire and death for life; so bold, with courage, strength, and desire that is inhuman and untold. They climb majestic heights on the brightest day or the darkest night. These angels of God, heroes, shining knights, fight on to preserve life.

They are known as: firefighters or firemen who fight to win (from the beginning to the end); strong men with shields (dressed in suits of armor, long coats, boots, and hats) and will do anything or everything to hold fire and destruction back. They sweat and toil to hold back the fire dragon or fiery tide with intelligence, honor, with pride, by sometimes sacrificing their own lives to save someone else; but they do so for not riches or wealth.

These brave superheroes to whom we owe so much, they have been known to deliver babies, bring back the dead with their Godly touch. They are always there when we need them in the clutch. Through untold heat, danger, and destruction, they come through with life-saving production. These mortal men, who are gladiators, champions, heroes, and our friends; strong, determined men, who always have a joyful, wide smiles or grins that we have come to count on and depend.

God bless the brave, our firemen, who put their mortal lives at risk and on the line every day to save lives and hold the fire dragon (death by fire or smoke) at bay. They never take a day off, because they are hard, dedicated men who are not soft or cowardly but unafraid while performing their good deeds and acts. They don’t take any crap or show any slack. They should never get any flack. These strong courageous men who work hard at their jobs in and outdoors, using their water hoses like a sword. With the guiding strength and knowledge from out God and Lord, they are a rare breed as they struggle, slave, and bleed to protect and shield our needs from danger and injury; they do good deeds.

They are always on time, a Godsend from the Holy Divine. They have the hearts of lions; when people are suffering daily and babies crying, they never stop, give in, or stop trying. As people cry out for help, they mentally block out the danger of self to rescue and help someone else. Whether it be a horse, dog, or cat, they will perform the impossible acts to save as they brave the inferno flames of hell or high water; because they are life savers and supporters. We tip our hats and salute the brave, unafraid, who hold death at bay.

We give them a cheer of “Hip, hip, hooray!” with song and parade. Some people call them smoke eaters; but they are really death cheaters and beaters (because they help the hopeless victims cheat death)l it is their way and style. But when we need them, they are always on point, rushing in to danger when others are rushing out. From their fire trucks they dismount, they leave the saddle to do battle with the evil dragons known as gas, fire, or smoke. These brave knights of oak, who are no joke, but kinfolks who go for broke as they sweat and choke to extinguish gas, fire, or smoke. They are our shining knights of hope.

The brave are at all accidents and fatalities, doing all they can, are a living reality with fortitude, power, desire, strong determination with obligation. As they toil and fight side by side to save lives, they are brothers who depend on each other for life and support. This is something learned or earned and not just taught; as they sweat and boldly fight devastation, they joust and do combat with the smut and grime, time after time. Death they defeat to rescue or save you or me, toiling through the night, until daylight, until a spark is not in sight. Then they exhaustively go back to the fire shack to prepare to do it again, because their job and hard work has no end; only on God and each other they depend, for both are necessity and friends.

It’s not just their job; if you are observant, watchful, and smart, you know these brave men go hard, above, and beyond their part of the call of duty, for what they do and achieve are miracles and beauties as they toil, sweat, and brave these heroic men (who are unafraid). As they do more than save lives, they are as American as apple pie. With the creed of “Never say die,” you can see the courage in their eyes as they perform their trade on sunny or snowy days. May God continue to bless the brave, because they are always on center stage!

When all of us are frightened and afraid; wherever there are people or animals in danger, desperately crying out to be saved; when tall buildings crash and cave, there you will find the brave knights of the golden order; life supporters who fight the good fight with all their strength and might, no matter the depth or height. They do what is Godly, noble, righteous, and right. Let us give praise to the unafraid, the brave! The world is a better place because of your dedication, hard work with grace. We go to bed at night feeling safe, knowing you are alert and on the case. You are a credit to yourself and the human race. Our hearts are engraved with the words of “God bless the brave, because they care, defend to no end and save!”
