Fire Fighter

Samer Amin

 

 

 

Your spirit has taught me how to pass amid the valley of death.

 

 

 

Your spirit has taught me not to be scared under its smoky shadow.

 

 

 

Your spirit has taught me not to be terrified by the dreadful sound of its blazing fire.

 

 

 

 

Your spirit has taught me how to tolerate the unimaginable burning pains.

 

 

 

Your spirit has taught me how to carry the trapped child in my bleeding arms.

 

 

 

Your spirit has taught me how to calm the weeping child by faking a smile on my anguished face.

 

 

 

Your spirit has taught me how to tell the fatally wounded soul, even at the end of the road, it's going to be Okay.

    The bravery of all who help those in distress is so important in our lives especially in these Strange Times.

      That's right, because we are now in desperate need for mutual support and genuine empathy. It is exactly as the old saying ''friend in need, friend in deed.'' Bravery can not be revealed except in the direct confrontation of perilous adversities.

      Good write Samer.

        Thank you so much. I tried to make these lines have a kind of multilayered moral values, whether they are read for their mere face value, or for their deeper implication.
