Trying our best
Giving our lives for the weak
While they rest and have fun
Living through pain
Anger
Grief
Loneliness
Terrible things occur
Through man and nature
But still we fight
To protect those in need
We don't care about ourselves
Only others
Who don't know how
And don't want to
It isn't easy
It's demanding
It's tiring
It's exhausting
But it is our lives
The ones we have given
For those who need them
That is our duty
Our duty to our country
Our duty to our kind
Our duty to our kin
Our duty to the weak
Dedicated To: The firefighters and others who helped in 9/11.
