Prayer For Firefighters Poem by Walterrean Salley

Prayer For Firefighters

Rating: 5.0


Bless the firefighters—one and ALL;
Go before them on each call.
Protect them as they serve our kind,
Saving lives with theirs on line.

By Your mercy and Your grace,
Keep their families truly safe.
Oh, may they never suffer harm
At the sound of the alarm.

Grant them wisdom, knowledge too—
All, dear Lord, which comes from You.
Daily be their shield and guide;
Never—ever—leave their side.

Strengthen now the hands that serve
With the blessings they deserve.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Yes, they are heroes and many people would perish without them. They are an asset to society but don't get their due recognition. Great sonnet Walterrean.
