fireman poem

[Blueeyes101817]

I am looking for a fireman poem that I saw in the past..I have no clue where I saw it, but everything i find online is this one (the firemen prayer)

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

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

Enable me to be alert 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.

And if, according to my fate, I am to lose my life;
Please bless with your protecting hand, my children and my wife...

I am trying to find a different one, as this is for my brother, who doesnt have a wife or children..the one i have seen in the past said something just about family--anyone have any ideas? i know theres some firemen and firefighter families on this board

thanks

I'll check-I think we just got a catalogue of fire stuff.

BTW I hate that poem..

"And if, according to my fate, I am to lose my life;
Please bless with your protecting hand, my children and my wife..."

Nice. I love to think of my husband dying in a fire.

Anyway..I'll check and see if I can find anything.

How about this one:

Oh Lord, please help this firefighter
To be skillful and brave.
Please let me never falter
When there are lives to save.
Be with my fellow firefighters
And ride with us each run,
From the moment we "suit-up"
Until the job is done.
Be with me as I guide a child
Through the dark and smokey haze
Give me strength and courage
As I fight the deadly blaze
Lord, I put my safety in Your hands,
But in the chaos and the strife,
Help me act with selfless courage
God, just let me save a life.


Vikki - do you go to the Firefighter's convention in Wildwood??

A FIREFIGHTER POEM

He Stares in the Face of Death
Without a Second Thought
to Save That One Special Life
That He So Bravely Sought
He Has Walked as Close to
"Hell on Earth"
as Any Man Could Do
and He's So Proud of the Job He Did
for People He Never Knew
He Puts His Life on the Line
Every Time Duty Calls
Always Doing What Needs to Done
Without Even a Pause
He Is a Fireman
With Overwhelming Pride
Never Afraid to Take a Chance
When Saving Someone’s Life
Often He Says
"It's My Job"
but We Really Know
That He Is Very Special
and Always Ready to Go
So When You Hear the Sirens Wail
or See the Flashing Lights
Stand Aside and Look with Pride
He's Going to Save a Life.

The ones above are good!
Here's a couple more that are on some things in the Roberts Fire Catalog:


Lord, protect our firefighters;
Keep them safe each day and night.
Give them courage and strength
On each rescue and
Fire they fight.



When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever flames may rage
Give me strength to save some life
Whatever be its age
Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out


When thou walkest through thr fire
thou shall not be burned.
Neither shall thw flame
Kindle upon thee.
Isaiah43:2

I like the ones mousefan and Karel posted a lot more than these, though.

Vikki - do you go to the Firefighter's convention in Wildwood??

I did! It was the first time we've been. My husband was a delegate this year, so we decided to all go, Thursday night-Sunday afternoon. It was a lot of fun!!
