Steve is my cousin. I want to take this opportunity to thank the people at Streetplay.com for this wonderful tribute.
I wrote this piece for Steve and for all firefighters.

Where Giants Walk

Through the course of time…
There are those who stand alone
Marked forever…..
By the courage they have shown
God has given them a special place
For all eternity
Where Giants Walk is where they’ll always be

When disaster….
Threatens all that cross its way
Come the heroes…
Fearing nothing, come what may
And when God above has chosen that
It’s time to take one home
Where Giants Walk is where he’ll always roam

There are so many Giants
A hero every one
A cousin, friend or brother
A husband, Dad, or son
A Mother, daughter, sister
A nephew or a niece
May God forever grant eternal peace

And the others…
Working tirelessly long
Give them courage…
Give them strength to carry on
But if You should need a hero
Through the fire they will walk
Place your hand upon their soul
Bring them proudly to your fold
And forever find a place where they can stroll….
Where Giants Walk
