What is a Professional Fire Fighter

Fireman's Wife

When you are gone, I feel alone-

When you're away, I want you home.

I miss you here, right next to me-

But that's the way it has to be.

When duty calls, it seems unfair-

You should be here, but you are there.

Helping people, saving lives-

I am one of many wives.

God, keep him safe, watch over him-

When the work is hard, when the times are dim.

Late at night or the early morn-

When he is tired,

When his spirit's worn.

Give him strength, be his guide-

Let him know you're at his side.

I love this man, he's one of a kind-

He's one of the Bravest

The best you'll find.

So this is what I ask of thee,

Just know how special he is to me.

Protecting the helpless, a defender of life-

I am proud to be A Fireman's Wife.

For my husband Neil -CFPD
