Lineman Who and What Are They

Underestimated or appreciated but we don't care, We sign up for the thrill of heights with an extra scare  Hot wires down and homes a'flare, We show up when others wouldn't dare  When storms roll through taking power out, Is when people wonder where our lineman are at Leaving loved ones behind and kissing little ones goodnight Lineman head out in the dead of night  Through cold or hot Long hard days Danger lurking at every phase We stick it out because we know our ways There's nothing we'd switch or change in the end, As long as you have power again

Welcome Poetry Soup! I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
