A Fallen Firefighter's Prayer
| |
Brother, when you weep for me, remember that it was meant to be. Lay me down and when you leave, remember I'll be at your sleeve.
|
| |
In every dark and choking hall, I'll be there as you slowly crawl. On every roof in driving snow, I'll hold your coat, and you will know.
|
| |
The house from which I now respond, is overstaffed with heroes gone. Men who answered one last bell, did the job and did it well.
|
| |
As firefighters we understand, that death's card dealt in our hand. A card we hope we never play, but one we hold there anyway.
|
| |
That card is something we ignore, as we crawl across a weakened floor. For we know that we're the only prayer, for anyone that might be there.
|
| |
So remember as you wipe your tears, the joy I knew throughout the years. As I did the job I loved to do, I pray that thought will see you through.
