A Fireman's Thank You

The Tones go off, Night and Day,
We're out the door and on our way.

We drop what we're doing no matter the task,
Some run quickly, some not so fast.

The Hero's we don't see are those still Home,
Our Spouse and our kids that we left alone.

They stand behind us through thick and thin,
Some battles we lose & some we win.

We give thanks to the Fireman for what they do,
But we forget to thank our support group "YOU".

For without you we could not be,
Volunteers for our community.

For each life that's saved and fire put out,
It's thanks to you that we will shout.

GOD BLESS and THANKS one and all,
For every time we get a CALL.

By: Jim Coppelman

So as you look at the firefighter with his rake, hose or axe,
His beet red face or ice covered mustache,
You should know why he goes through that smoky front door,
And is forced to crawl like a baby down on the floor.
He does it to save both lives and property,
All that is precious to you and to me.
So take a good look at this modern warrior who serves his call proud and true,
And know that he would die just to save me and you.
