An American Hero

Robert Portella is a cherished hero Everyone certainly agrees He is a New York firefighter And takes his job very seriously When the 911 tragedy took place In New York City, USA This man did what he could There is so much about him to say He put the public and duties first, you see As the firefighters are known to do They put their lives right on the line They are fierce, loyal and true The shock was felt across the world And while most of us were in pain So were these wonderful heroes Some families won’t them see again All of Yukon welcomed this hero Enfolded him in their arms And there was a little girl as well With so much sensitivity and charm The two came together one day This little girl and this man A hero he was truly declared For the values on which he stands!
