A Fireman's Prayer
When I am
called to duty, God
Wherever Flames may rage
Give me the 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
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 have to lose my life
Please bless with your protecting hand
My children and my wife.

A 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.

"May They Not Be Forgotten"
Brother when you weep for
me,
Remember that it was meant to be.
Lay me down and when you leave,
Remember I'll be at your sleeve.
In every dark and choking
hall,
I'll be there as you slowly crawl.
On every roof in fallen rain,
I'll hold your coat and you will know.
In cellars hot with searing
heat,
At windows where a gate you meet,
In closets where young children hide,
You know I'll be there at your side.
The house from which I now
respond,
Is overstaffed with heroes gone.
Men who answered one last bell,
Did the job and did it well.
As firemen, we understand
That death's a card dealt in our hand-
A card we hope we never play,
But one we hold there anyway.
That card is something we ignore,
As we craw across a weakened floor.
For we know that we're the only prayer
For anyone that might be there.
So remember, as you wipe
your tears,
The joy I know throughout the years,
As I did the job I loved to do,
I pray that thought will see you through.
