Family and Fire

The walk into the middle of hell,
So many of us know this quite well.
Stay together the fire swells,
Keep your head down we always tell.

Bright turns black if done right,
Even when fast stay in the fight.
It turns on you the air relights,
Hold your ground dig in real tight.

Controlled chaos some will say,
Some one watching thinks all is ok.
Panic comes while deep they must stay,
Breathing gets hard it is not time to play.

A bell rings out you’re lost in time,
You stayed to long the bell’s a chime.
Time to move runs through your mind,
Been in to long is there really time.

Another bell your partners air,
Look in his eyes shows you are there.
No time to think for the door you stare,
The line you brought in shows you where.

This time you got out will your luck always hold,
The fire inside is some how so cold.
You can’t tell your family you may not grow old,
Some how they know without being told.

This life is not easy it is truly a calling,
You family the heroes their lives ever stalling.
You bring them inside in your heart every time,
Did you tell them you love them runs through your mind.
