Dedication

It's oh seven thirty

When I roll out of bed,

My face is still dirty

Smoke & soot fill my head.

 

I turn on the shower

To clean up for work,

It's gonna be tough

Cause' my whole body hurts.

 

Just three hours sleep

To rest bloodshot eyes,

"Why do you do it?"

"Dedication" is my reply.

 

Some think I am crazy

They call me insane,

To battle the "Dragon"

In sun, snow, & rain.

 

It's not just the "Big One"

That fuels my desire,

There's more to volunteering

Than just fighting fire.

 

I love the kids faces

And the look in their eyes,

When they see the big engines

And those "fireman guys".
