An Angel
of a Wife
 
A
special kind of woman, a cut above the rest,
That's
a wife - rating her among the best!
It's
a devil of a job for an angel like this,
Who
for the love of her man must make bliss.
She
provides food for her family;
And
makes sure everything is as it is suppose to be.
She
considers a field and buys it;
She
works hard to make a profit.
She
has strength, dignity and wisdom
As
she laughs at the days to come.
She
can run a tractor or even paint a room in need.
She
can stretch a dollar for a miracle indeed.
She
opens her arms and provides for the poor.
Who
could ask for more?
She
brings him good not harm;
A
man would be proud to have her on his arm.
Rich
is the man, reaping his rewards in life,
Who
chose this woman to be his wife.

A
Firefighter's Prayer
When
I am called to duty, God wherever 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 put the fire out.
I
want to fill my calling and 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.
Amen
A
Firefighter's Wife
A
special kind of woman, a cut above the rest,
That's
a firefighter's wife - rating her among the best!
How
many goodbyes are shouted without a fond embrace,
As
duty steals her man, for the danger that he must face.
How
many meals are ruined or tender moments disturbed
By
the wail of a distant signal, sparkling loyalty unsevered.
It's
a devil of a job for an angel like this,
Who
for the love of her man must forsake that ideal.
She
can run a garden tractor, even paint a room in need.
Oh,
how she can stretch a dollar is a miracle indeed.
She's
a mother, lover, chauffeur, a nurse.
A
living symbol of "for better or for worse."
Rich
is the man, reaping his rewards in life,
Who
chose to be the other half of a firefighter's wife.
