Fireman's Wife 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.
