[hometext] => Pain from the archives.
[bodytext] => Final Call Today I mourn the loss of a great mentor and friend Never did anyone think this is how his life would end Through many years of service in the public eye He brought me back to earth when I started to fly too high Guiding me through the early years of my firefighting career When ever I started to go astray, if I looked around he would be near Helping me to deal with the dangerous situations that we would face Reminding me that we must remember the reason we are in this place He showed me that my best abilities were in search and rescue Working beside him I looked at fires with a new up-close view The events that would bring his life to a close Well, no one could predict those The other night just about three The alarm sounded waking everyone but me My mentor saw I was not there to ride So on the truck he stood on my side A drunk driver did not hear the siren wail So to apply his brakes he did fail It should have been me that died that night Nothing could ever make this right It turned out the call was a false alarm Some kid did not realize he could cause such harm How can I say Good-bye to you my friend? How could your life have come to this end?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
