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.
