Fireman's Prayer

Anonymous

When I am called to duty God,

Where ever flames may rage,

Give me strength to save some life,

What ever be their age.

Help me embrace a little child,

Before it is too late,

Or save an older person from

The horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert,

And to 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 my fate,

I am to lose my life,

Please bless with your protective hand

My children and my wife.

Fireman Wife's Prayer

Anonymous

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.
