Wilson County’s Best

Our first responders are often overlooked.
Many times putting their own lives on the hook.
Spending many days and nights in danger.
Always there to help a stranger.
A career choice that is in your blood.
The first to arrive at an accident, fire or flood.
Often times leaving their own families alone,
To come to the aid of a soul, with a heart of stone.
Darker nights many others never see,
The faces covered with anguish, pain and tragedy.
Feeling the pain as if it was their own.
Helping the hurt to not feel alone.
Keeping us safe in the middle of the night,
Fighting fires with all their might.
Working to save lives, protect and serve.
Never receiving the recognition they deserve.
We appreciate every sacrifice you make.
We notice all you do to keep us safe.
We thank you for your heart of compassion.
We are proud of the courage you show.
We appreciate you more than you know.
We take this moment to say thank you,
To honor you for the work you do.
We have so much to be thankful for.
Those who give and ask for nothing more.
The ones who often go without rest.
The ones who are “Wilson County’s Best.”
People like you it is plain to see,
That is why Wilson County is the place to be!
