A Tribute to the Linemen

The weather is at its worst.
Everyone has stocked up on supplies
to stay home
and weather the storm.
Rain,
Thunder,Lightning,Hail,
Tornadoes,
Sleet, Dangerous windchills
Blizzard conditions
No travel advised!
The sun goes down
Everyone snuggles in; cozy, protected, and warm.
 
In the Lineman's home,the phone rings.
He struggles from a deep sleep.
 He knows this call is for him.
He goes happily when he gets the call.
Out of his warm bed, away from his sleeping family.
He is called into the dark and the worst of the storm.
The Lineman responds.
He will do his job while we all sleep.
This is the work he loves.
