detroit4431's blog: "Fireman's Prayer"

When I am called to duty, Lord,

Wherever flames my 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 give the best in me,

To guard my every neighbor

And protect his property.

And if, according to my fate,

I am to lose my life.

Please bless with you protecting hand

My family, friends, and wife.
