The table's set, the meal's
prepared, our guests will soon arrive.
My husband once more disappears
with a hope of keeping a child alive.
While waiting at home alone, our
plans having gone awry
My first impulse is merely 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 are many 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.
