I AM A FIREMAN'S WIFE

The table is set, the meal is prepared, our guests will soon arrive

My husband once more disappears, in the hopes of keeping a child alive

While waiting at home alone, our plans having gone away

My first impulse is to merely 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 are many drawback's, I'll take them in 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
