FIREMAN'S WIFE'S PRAYER

The table's set, the meal's prepared, our guests will soon arrive,
My husband once more disappears with hope of keeping a child alive.

While waiting at home alone, our plans having gone away,
my first impulse is merely to sit right down and cry.

But soon again I realize the importance of my life,
When I agree to take on the duties of being a fireman's wife.

While there are many drawbacks, I'll take them in 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 will reamin my fireman's faitful mate.
