"A Mother's Prayer"
The alarm goes off, ready to go, all with no hesitation
Time to save a soul or a home, straight to that destination
This prayer’s for my son, as that fire calls
Protecting the innocent and fighting flaming walls
Guide him with your strength, the courage to pull him through
Give him that breath of air, if he gets down to his last few
By chance he may get weak; do give him the will to stand
Carry him as you said, your” Foot Prints in the Sand”
He will have to lift or ax a door today
May your angels chip away, helping along the way
There’s always the unknown, of what they call “back draft”
Secure your arms around him, and the others who have his back
Make way for him to listen, to hear that persons call
If he gets blinded, give him sight, direct him down that hall
Determined to break a window, to rescue that angry dog
Or fight the wild fires, to keep lands beauty how it belongs
Keep their team in motion, to know where one is at
They’re taking turns in and out, of these fires that attack
When that duty’s done, he’ll have peace of mind
You were right beside him; he now thanks you for your time
Lord I ask this of you, I pray you watch over him
Help him always save the lives, then return him to me again. Amen"
