Volunteer

There's this man..broad shoulders
Handsome..kind
She thinks of him..everyday
His hands..rough from years of
Hard..work
He volunteers his..extra time as a
Fireman..caring for his community
When he's called..in the middle of
The night..he voices his love to her
Not knowing..when or if he'll be back
She lays in bed..worried for him
She won't sleep..until his safe return
Is he fighting a fire..assisting a crash
She doesn't know..that's the worst
Not knowing..feels like she's dying
Waiting for him..that's all she can do
