To The Emergency Workers O' So Brave. Poem by David Boyce

To the Emergency workers O' so brave.

This weekend we take our hats off
To the emergency workers who lost their lives
Trying to save so many
But leaving behind children, husbands and wives.

On September the eleventh
I ask you all to bow your head
And think of all their loved ones
Who died on that day of dread.

We join our thoughts together
No matter where you are
Look up into the night sky
And thank our lucky star.

Because on that day in 2001
Many innocent people died
For their families we pray for comfort
With tears in our eyes.

For those sent to the Twin Towers
Doing their duty, they did die
To help those who needed them
Over One hundred storeys high.

God Bless those killed on that day
And we thank them on behalf of all those saved
We appreciate the efforts made
To the Emergency workers O' so brave.
