A Fire� ghters Gloves hold many thingsFrom elderly arms to a kids broken swing.From the hands they shake and the backs they patTo the tiny claw marks of another treed cat.At 2 am they are � lled with chromeFrom the DWI who was on her way home.And the equipment they use to roll back the dashFrom the family of 6 she involved in the crash.The brush rakes in spring, wear the palms outWhen the wind does a “90” to � ll them with doubt.The thumb of the glove wipes the sweat from the browOf the face of a � re� ghter who mutters “What now?”They hold inch and three quarters � owing one twenty � veSo the ones going in, come back out alive.When the regulator goes; then there isn’t too much,But the bypass valve the eagerly clutch.The rescue equipment, the ropes, the C-collars,The lives they saved never measured in dollars.Are the obvious things � re� ghters gloves hold,Or, so that is what I’ve been always told.But there are other things Fire� ghters Gloves touch,Those are the things we all need so much.They hold back the rage on that 3 am callThey hold in the fear when you’re lost in a hallThey hold back the pity, agony, sorrowThey hold in the desire to “Do it tomorrow”A gloves just a glove till it’s on � re� ghtersWho work all day long just to pull an all-nighterAnd into the fray they charge without fearAt the sound of a “Help” they think that they hearWhen � re� ghter’s hands go into the gloveIt’s a � re� ghter who always � lls it with loveSometimes the sorrow is too much to bearAnd it seeps the glove and burns deep “in there”Off come the gloves when the call is doneAnd into the pocket until the next call.The hands become lonely and cold for a bitAnd shake just thinking of it.And they sit there so red eyed with theirgloves in their coatsThe tears come so fast that the furniture � oats.They’re not so brave now; their hands they can’t hideI guess it just means they are human inside.And though some are paid are others are not,The gloves feel the same when it’s cold or it’s hot.To someone you’re helping to just get along,When you � ll them with love, you always feel strong.And so when I go on my � nal big rideI hope to have my gloves by my sideTo show to St. Peter at the heavenly gateCause as everyone knows, � re� ghters don’t wait.
