When I am called to duty, God, <br />Wherever flames may rage <br />Give me strength to save some life <br />Whatever be its age. <br />Help me embrace a little child <br />Before it's too late, <br />Or save an older person <br />From the horror of that fate. <br />Enable me to be alert, <br />And hear the weakest shout <br />And quickly and effectively <br />To put the fire out. <br />I want to fill my calling <br />And to give the best in me, <br />To guard my every neighbour <br />And protect his property. <br />And if, according to 'Your will', <br />I have to lose my life, <br />Please bless with Your protecting hand <br />My family and my friends. <br />Amen<br /><br />Tafadzwa Mhondiwa Mugari<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fireman-s-prayer/
