Wife’s Prayer
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.

LOVE this one too!
I love poems that help keep it in perspective.
This is so real! God know’s I need God to get me through some days.
If you are not talking to your God on most days then you are trying to do way too much alone. I’m not religious, but it sure doesn’t mean I’m not always talking to God.
Some days it’s just a talk and other days it’s an all day conference. lol
