Firefighters 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 neighbour 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

The Last Alarm

My father was a fireman, he drove a big red truck
And when he'd go to work each day he'd say

"Mother, wish me luck"
Then dad would not come home again until sometime the next day
But the thing that bothered me the most was the things some folks would say
A fireman's life is easy, he eats and sleeps and plays,
and sometimes he won't fight a fire for many, many days
When I first heard these words I was young to understand
But I knew when people had trouble Dad was there to lend a hand

Then my father went to work one day and kissed us all goodbye
but little did we realize that night we all would cry
My father lost his life that night when the floor gave way below
And I wondered why he'd risked his life for someone he did not know
But now I truly realize the greatest gift a man can give
is to lay his life upon the line so that someone else might live
so as we go from day to day and pray to God above
Say a prayer for your local fireman
He may save the ones you love
