This one is definitely for all the wife’s of volunteers past, present and future. Believe me, I understand this one well
At home I wake up much easier than he does and I used to tell him the call and wake him up. lol
BACK HOME AGAIN
The pager makes it’s beeping noise, The scanner comes to life.
You see excitement on his face As he goes off to fight.
No matter what you’re doing Or whatever the current plan,
All you can say is “Later Hon” As he gets those keys in hand.
You say a little prayer That God will keep him safe,
That with all the pride and bravery No one will make a mistake.
You know those men are Brothers And fiercely will protect
The lives of each other and others– They will truly give their best!
You and your “man’s best friend” Are both loyal and true.
You keep each other company Waiting for him to return to you.
And when that front door opens With “Honey I’m home” again,
You thank the Lord he’s back OK, Your brave and strong Fireman.
