Ladies' Auxiliary Prayer
The ladies wait, while Their men
respond, united as one in a common
bond. The bond of serving, each in their
own way, the needs that arise, be what
they may. The reheated meals, the unsipped drink,
are a common occurrence, much more
then you think. It's mostly routine and done without flair,
the men return, their ladies are there. But then comes the call, the tough one to
fight, a working fire that may last through
the night. The ladies again wait, but this time they
know, that sooner or later, they too will
go. As they wait for the signal, the time
draws near, for that sooner or later to be
suddenly here. The men are all weary, some of them
spent, the refreshments that arrive are like
heaven sent. The auxiliary, in fact, is more than a
name. So God when we pray for the
firemen's care, include the ladies, who
were also there.

When you are gone, I feel alone,
When you're away, I want you home.
I miss you here, right next to me,
But that's the way it has to be.
When duty calls, it seems unfair,
You should be here, but you are there.
Helping people, saving lives,
I am one of many wives.
God, Keep him safe, watch over him,
When the work is hard, when times are dim.
Late at night or the early morn,
When he is tired, when his spirit is worn.
Give him strength, be his guide,
Let him know you're at his side.
I love this man, he's one of a kind,
He's one of the bravest, the best you'll find.
So this is what I ask of thee,
Just know how special he is to me.
Protecting the helpless, a defender of life,
I am proud to be A Fireman's Wife.
