The Story of a Young Talented Autistic Boy
For NYC Fire Fighters

I was the one that heard the call
and accepted my fate with no concern for my safety
I rode in my steel guardian to my final destination
When I heard the news, my heart sank to the Earth
People had died; a plane had plunged into the towering giant
I rush to the party with great speed
I didn¡¯t realize I wouldn¡¯t go home
I miss my family but I would not go back
You see, I was a firefighter
Please remember my name.
