“A Mother’s Prayer”

 

 

The alarm goes off, ready to go, all with no hesitation

Time to save a soul or a home, straight to that destination

 

This prayer’s for my son, as that fire calls

Protecting the innocent and fighting flaming walls

 

Guide him with your strength, the courage to pull him through

Give him that breath of air, if he gets down to his last few

 

By chance he may get weak; do give him the will to stand

Carry him as you said, your” Foot Prints in the Sand”

 

He will have to lift or ax a door today

May your angels chip away, helping along the way

 

There’s always the unknown, of what they call “back draft”

Secure your arms around him, and the others who have his back

 

Make way for him to listen, to hear that persons call

If he gets blinded, give him sight, direct him down that hall

 

Determined to break a window, to rescue that angry dog

Or fight the wild fires, to keep lands beauty how it belongs

 

Keep their team in motion, to know where one is at

They’re taking turns in and out, of these fires that attack

 

When that duty's done, he’ll have peace of mind

You were right beside him; he now thanks you for your time

 

Lord I ask this of you, I pray you watch over him

Help him always save the lives, then return him to me again.
