A Firefighter's Life
A fireman's life is one big surprise,
usually he laughs and sometimes he cries.
There's always stress, toil and strife,
hoping he's good enough to save just one life.
His wife understands when he misses dinner.
If he runs out of church, don't think he's a sinner.
Answering a call is tops on his list,
regretting each one he's ever missed.
He tries and tries but can't make us see;
the happiest men still work for free.
Jumping from bed, fighting the cold,
knowing what to do without being told.
He rushes to the station and jumps on a truck,
depending on skill, never on luck.
Putting his life on the line for an unknown friend.
Hoping and praying it won't be the end.
"The Bravest Men in the World," the title is fitting.
They all do their best and never come close to quitting.
Next time you see them with all their lights blinking,
Take just a minute to think what they're thinking.
It's a hard job; so show them you care,
And help them out with a little prayer.
