The Fire Fighter's Vow

I think of the lives touched each and every day
the way the children cry and the families pray
The look on the faces of those whose lives I have touched
the unspoken words saying i thank you so much
As I go through the smoke and I see the flames
when I cant save a life will I always feel the blame
Day after day year after year
I cant help but thank god for the passion and the fear
I have no regrets and I know this now
that is why I chose to take the fire fighter's vow

The Fire Fighter's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God, wherever flames may rage,
Give me the strength to save some life, whatever be the age.

Help me embrace a little child before it is too late,
Or save an older person form the horror of the 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 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 FIREMAN'S DUTY

A Fireman's Duty,
Is to be there when some one's life is in danger.
A Fireman's Duty,
Is to go in that burning building when no one else will.
He is to cherish and respect what he does.
He is to think before he reacts.
A Fireman's Duty,
Is to put that fire out so it doesn't cause another family to cry.
A Fireman's Duty is to care and to understand.
A Fireman's Duty,Is to come home to a job well done.
