A Fireman'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 that 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 wife.
“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 there team in motion, to know where one is at
There’re taking turns in and out, of these fires that attack
When that duties 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.
“Dedicated to my Son and to all Firefighter’s”

In Memory of our Fallen Brothers of NYC, and those who perished at the World Trade Center

Gone, But Not
Forgotten
Brother when you
weep for me
Remember it was meant to be
Lay me down and when you leave
Remember I'll be at your sleeve
In every dark and choking hall
I'll be there as you slowly crawl
On every roof in driving snow
I'll hold your hand and you will know
In cellars hot with searing heat
At windows where a gate you meet
In closets where young children hide
You know I'll be there at your side
The house from which I now respond
is overstaffed with heroes gone
Men who answered one last bell
Did the job and did it well
As firemen we understand
That death's a card dealt in our hand
A card we hope we never play
But one we hold there anyway
That card is something we ignore
As we crawl across a weakened floor
For we know we're the only prayer
For anyone that might be there
So remember as you wipe your tears
The joy I knew throughout the years
As I did the job I loved to do
I pray that thought will see you through.
