Fireman's Prayer
|
|
When I am called to duty, God
Wherever flames may rage,
Give me some strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.
Help me embrace a little child,
Before it is too late,
Or save an older person from
That horror 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 his property.
And if according to your will,
I have to loose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand
My children and my wife.

Firefighter's Wife Prayer
|
|
A special kind of woman, a cut above the rest,
That’s a firefighter’s wife, rating her among the best.
How many goodbyes are shouted,
without a fond embrace,
As duty steals her man, for the danger he must face?
How many meals are ruined, or tender moments disturbed,
by the wail of a distant signal,
sparking loyalty unswerved?
It’s a devil of a job, for an angel like this,
Who…for the love of her man, must forsake that kiss.
She can run a garden tractor, even paint a room in need,
What she can do with tools, is a miracle indeed.
She’s mother, lover, dietician and nurse,
A living symbol of, "For better or for worse".
Rich is the man, reaping rewards in life,
Who chooses to be he other half, of a firefighter’s wife.
