A FIREMAN'S WIFE
The table's set, the meal's prepared,
Our guests will soon arrive.
My husband once more disappears
With the hope of keeping a child alive.
While waiting at home alone,
Our plans have gone awry.
My first response is
To sit right down and cry.
But soon again I realize
The importance of my life
When I agreed to take on
The duties of being a fireman's wife.
While there may be drawbacks,
I'll take them in my stride.
Knowing "My Daddy saved a life"
Our children can say with pride.
The gusting winds and raging flames
May be his final fate.
But with God's help I can remain
My fireman's faithful mate.
