I'd like to meet:
I would like to meet single parents who like to do things with their kids and without them. Single Friends who like to get out once in awhile, travel, have a drink, listen to a band and just chill, and realize that I do have kids and they will be with me on occasion. You have to be able to laugh, have a sense of humor, and just be laid back and care free. If you want to be my friend or accept my request to be a friend, I want to be able to carry on a conversation on here, not just see your pic and never hear from you :)

A FIRE FIGHTER'S 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 neighbor 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 spouseFIREMAN'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.
