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.
