The Fireman's Prayer
Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial in Colorado Springs
A gallant, noble sacrifice,
a selfless life laid down;
So rare this public servant's worth,
no greater treasure found.
No greater act of decency,
no greater human love,
no greater courage demonstrated
by lives they gave.
This tribute to unselfish hearts
today will testify,
that health and safety have a price,
that firefighters die.
The shadow of this sentinel,
into tomorrow cast,
forever will the gravestones shield
of heroes who have passed.
It bathes their tombs in bravery,
and brands upon our memory
the gift they gave, the cancelled debt,
let town and peoples not forget
the price they paid to keep us safe,
our lives and homes secure.
We honor these who gave their all
their memories here endure.
Let's never forget those who have perished while answering their last alarm!
