Heart of a hero

A firefighter's heart, a desire to serve

To protect and save, a noble reserve

On duty or off, his spirit remains

A guardian angel, with a hero's refrains

In uniform or not, he's always on call

A protector, a defender, standing tall

His sense of duty, a guiding light 

Shining bright, through day and night 

When flames arise, he rushes in with might 

A savior's instinct, a hero's sight

But the toll it takes, the stress and the grind

Weighs heavy on his heart and mind

The calls, the trauma, the weight he bears

The memories that linger, the scars that show

But still he rises, with a courageous might

And finds solace in our love, our gentle night

In my arms, he finds a peaceful place

A refuge from the flames, a calm within the space

He shares his stories, his fears, his doubts

And I hold him close, with a loving shout

Together we face, the stress and the strain

And find strength, in each other's love and pain 

I'm grateful for his love, his heart so true

A hero in every way, through and through
