Linemen
They climb the poles at any hour
to fix the wires that give us power.
In emergencies,
when we have no electricity
the linemen climb way up high
and fix the problems in the blink of an eye.
They never let the weather get them down,
And you can see their trucks all over town.
After storms in other towns, our men get their trucks
And go right on down.
Then, when we need others to help us out,
All we have to do is give a shout.
They are so necessary, there high-wire friends,
that we pray God’s special care of our linemen.
