When I'm called to duty God
wherever flames may rage
give me strength to save a life
whatever be its age
 

Help me to 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
to 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 neighbor and
protect his property
 

And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.

This is dedicated to all the  heroes worldwide. Thank you for lending your protecting hand.

The Last Alarm

My father was fireman.
He drove a big red truck and when he'd go to work each day
he'd say, "Mother wish me luck."
Then Dad would not come home again
'til sometime the next day.
But the thing that bothered me the most
was the thing's some folks would say,
"A fireman's life is easy,
he eats and sleeps and plays,
and sometimes he won't fight a fire
for days and days."
When I first heard these words
I was young to understand
but I knew when people had trouble
Dad was there to lend a hand.
Then my father went to work one day
and kissed us all goodbye
but little did we realizes
that night we all would cry.
My father lost his life that night
when the floor gave way below
and I'd wondered why he'd risk his life
for someone he did not know.
But now I truly realize
the greatest gift a man can give
is to lay his life upon the line
so that someone else might live.
So as we go from day to day
and we pray to God above
say a prayer for your local fireman.
He may save the one's you love.

 This is to all of our fallen heroes worldwide. Rest in Peace and Please watch over your brother Firefighters.
