A Fireman's Prayer Author Unknown When I'm called to duty God where ever flames may rage, give me strehgth to save a life whatever be it's age. Help me embrace a child before it's too late, or save an older person. 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 neighbor and to protect his property. And if according to my fate, I am to loose my life, Please bless with your protecting hand My children,my family, my life. A Fireman's Son My dad's a fireman and proud am I indeed, for he is someone special, whose wisdom I still need. Dad and I are buddies, and to me that means a lot, a bond to last forever, with love that's from the heart. He took me to parades when other kids stayed home, and taught me to play baseball on a field without a dome. He taught me how to fix things, even let me use his tools. What I learned from my dad, they don't teach in schools. The examples that he set, I follow every day, placing God and country first, in showing me the way. Precious are those years, now tucked away with time, tenderly remembered; I am the leaf, he is the vine. Dad, hear me as I say, I love you man-to-man and I am proud to tell the world, my dad is a fireman. Anonymous Thank you Linda-Alabama for posting this one
