Firefighters whether volunteer or paid have a dedication that just will not fade
They have to continuously learn and train and fight fires in the snow and rain
They do their job with honor and pride, their fellow firefighters at their side
Family members worry and pray, knowing there is a chance they will be taken away
People don’t realize how much they care, or how much of their life they are willing to share
Whenever they are called to help they go, even if it’s someone they do not know,
They fight fires and help at accidents scenes, whether it’s someone elderly or in their teens
Whenever you see these men and women go out, please remember to think about,
The thing they are doing interrupts their family life, and sometimes causes them tears and strife
So the next time they pass your way, please take a minute to stop and pray
That they make it home when the day is done and this won’t be their last run.
