What do heroes do?
Through disasters large and small,
Whether real or false alarm,
They will answer every call,
They strive to keep us from harm...
That's what heroes do,
That's what heroes do.

What do heroes do?
No matter the time of day,
No matter the time of night,
Overworked and underpaid,
They will not give up the fight...
That's what heroes do,
That's what heroes do.

What do heroes do?
Police protect us from crime,
Firemen put out the flames,
Medics try to buy more time,
Our safety they will attain...
That's what heroes do,
That's what heroes do.

What do heroes do?
At times they face great danger,
At times risking their lives,
Helping loved ones and strangers,
Working to ensure they survive...
That's what heroes do,
That's what heroes do.

What do heroes do?
They entered falling towers...
And heroism was shown...
They tried to thwart death's powers...
They lost many of their own...
That's what heroes do,
That's what heroes do.

That's what heroes do,
That's what heroes do.

This is a poem I wrote shortly after the devastating events of 9-11. it is dedicated to those that lost their lives in that attack, and also to their families, loved ones, friends, and co-workers. It is also dedicated to those men and women who are Police Officers, Firefighters, EMS, and Search and Rescue personnel. They are ALL true heroes in my book!! God bless each and every one of them. To all you heroes, please receive my sincerest THANK YOU for your tireless dedication to saving lives.
