Fireman's Prayer

Dedicated to firemen everywhere
Our national heros!

Fireman's Prayer

When I'm called to duty
God wherever flames may be
Give me the strength to save some life
Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child
Before it's too late
Or save an older person
From the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert
And Hear the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling
And To give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect their property .

And if according to your will
I lose my life
Please bless with your protective hand
My children and my wife.

The Fireman's Wife's Prayer

The table's set, the meal's prepared, our guests will soon arrive.

My husband once more disappears with a hope of keeping a child alive.

While waiting at home alone, our plans having gone awry,

My first impulse is merely to sit right down and cry.

But soon again I realize the importance of my life

When I agreed to take on the duties of being a fireman's wife.

While there are many drawbacks, I'll take them in my stride,

Knowing "My Daddy saved a life" our children can say with pride.

The gusting winds and raging flames may be his final fate.

But with God's help I can remain my fireman's faithful mate.
