Below the Surface
By Lizzy M. Christian
Below the surface
There is a kind-hearted human being
Who willingly risks everything for complete strangers.
Below the surface
There is so much more than a stoic face and a steady voice.
There is compassion.
There is courage.
There is a heart that still chooses to care.
Below the surface
There is a deep understanding of pain
And the sobering reality of just how broken our world can be.
Below the surface
There is a determination to stay focused when the unthinkable happens,
Because emotions have to wait until the work is done.
There is grief after the calls.
There are memories they wish they could forget.
There is a quiet kindness that often goes unseen.
Below the surface
There is a son or daughter.
A husband or wife.
A father or mother.
Someone who kisses their family goodbye, never fully knowing what the next shift will bring.
Natural disasters.
House fires.
Vehicle accidents.
Medical emergencies.
Hazardous materials incidents.
When others are running away…
They run toward it.
Below the surface
There is a hero
Who refuses to let the worst of humanity steal the best of who they are.
Below the surface
There is a hero with fears.
With setbacks.
With scars that aren’t always visible.
Yet they keep showing up.
Below the surface
There is a hero
Fighting battles most people will never see,
Carrying burdens they rarely speak about,
And making the world a little safer…
One call at a time.
NEW Fire Wife Facebook Cover Collection is HERE!
A little something fun for the families who live life by shift calendars, missed weekends, “come home safe” texts, and a whole lot of love. I created this collection of FREE Facebook covers for fire wives and first responder families to add a little color—and a little piece of this life—to your page.
