Our Dad was a fireman, a fact we state with pride,
So pardon us for boasting ~ it’s hard to keep inside.
We’re very blessed, indeed, for a father such as he,
Who helped Mom raise us kids, using this philosophy…
“Fortify your heart, with righteousness inside,
It beautifies the character ~ something you can’t hide.
With beauty in the character, there’ll be no need to roam,
For the love our children need, starts right here in the home.
Combine that love with God;
They both go hand in hand,
For harmony in the home ~ it’s such a simple plan.
With harmony in the home, there’ll be order in the nation,
And peace in the world, for everyone’s salvation.”
We loved him for his wisdom, the best we could have had,
And proud that he was a fireman, a man we called Our Dad.
