Lineman

Sine Waves: The highs and lows of Life on the Line Hits: 392

He doesn’t block for the running back

He doesn’t protect a place kicker

He doesn’t throw his hands up in victory

He doesn’t chase a number on a score board

He walks thru the mud

He sloshes his way thru knee deep water

 He drives thru destruction

He analyzes what the need is

He doesn’t seek adoration

He doesn’t expect a thank you

He knows it’s not redemption

He knows why he is there

He knows there is no goal line

He knows the relief on people’s faces

He knows the tears

He knows damage has brought him to this place

He comes to help

He comes to restore

He comes to lend a helping hand

He comes when he is needed

The look in people’s eyes is more than enough
