Just a firefighter’s Wife
I sleep alone at night, so you can sleep with peace of mind…
I am the woman sitting alone at the little league game, while you hold your husband’s hand…
I sit alone at church so your house is spared from a roaring fire…
Yes, I give up my husband to who’s need is grave and dire…
I am the woman who puts her career on hold, so her kids can have at least one parent home…
While you have dinner with your husband I quietly miss my own…
I am the woman who can fix a pipe, paint a room and change a flat…
All things I had to learn along the way to save my back…
I am not a hero, don’t get paid and don’t save lives…
Don’t mind me I’m just a firefighter’s wife…

Thanks for sharing that.
My son in law is a firefighter and this was a good pause for thought.
Thank you.
