"Firemans Prayer"When I am called to duty, God,Where ever flames may rageGive me the strength to save some life,Whatever be its age.Help me embrace a little childBefore it is too late;Or save an older person fromThe horror of that fate.Enable me to be alert,And hear the weakest shout,And quickly and efficientlyTo put the fire out.I want to fill my calling andTo give the best in me;To guard my every neighbor andProtect his propertyAnd if, according to your willI have to give my life;Please bless with your protecting handMy children and my wife.- Author Unknown
