Got this posted on my face book wall from a lineman that used to work with us in Wales.Dunno where he got it from or wether any of you guys have seen it before. But I will stick it on here and see what you think.
Overhead linemen
what are their thoughts,These
Hardy souls tangled in knots
On top of poles sweating it out
In a blend of blue,doing a job
Few would do?
What are their thoughts, this
Gallant crew,who risk their
Lives the long day through,in
In summer heat or winter snow,
Taking orders from afar and
Below ?
What are their thoughts,these
Men of brawn,who joke and
Swear or hum a song,who
Know their distance well could
Be a rubber glove from
Eternity?
What are their thoughts a the
close of day,as they scramble
Down and put hooks away ?
DO they thank God for the
Heart skipped beat,to feel the
Earth beneath their feet ?
What are their thoughts as
They head for home,longing
Once more to great their own?
Surely they must feel some
Delight,knowing they helped
Turn darkness into light ?
