I really like the thought and idea of doing this...it reminds me of Taps being played.

InClan,
  A suitable tribute to a fallen friend and fire fighter. Very thoughtful!

Thank you to all who responded.  Jerry was  a 38 years young firefighter who died at home of a massive heart attack.  There is, indeed, not much to be said about this poem.  It struck me as I listen to the dispatch how much it sounded like a poem.  I post it to honor Jerry.  I hope it is a LONG time before I hear another dispatch like this.
