"A Firefighters Prayer"

When I am called to duty, God,
Wherever flames may rage,
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.

Help me to embrace a child
before it is too late,
And save an older person from
the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be altert,
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 his property.

This poem is in honor of the BWS member named "Groovy";
who successfully completed all the rigors required to
be installed as a member of our community Fire Company!
I know she worked hard to succeed at this accomplishment.
And I'm proud of her!

PS, I didn't not write this poem, it was on the front of
the 2010 Installation Dinner program!
