Where firefighters come to talk training

THE HEROES

This is a tribute to my beloved father, James John Patrick Laughlin, who was a firefighter, who died at the age of 48 and who is his daughter's hero at heart.

The Heroes

Did no one ever tell you you are angels in disguise
Adorned with wings invisible to all of human eyes?
The embodiment of strength.....goodwill, protecting care
We see that in our heroes, our heroes, unaware.
Their job is done unflinchingly, their heart is on the task
Of overcoming obstacles.....sometimes to be their last.
Their helmets are their halos, their jackets, merely wings
Hoping life, comfort, mercy, and deliverance they will bring.
