God; please, as you tuck them in tonight,
Keep the children safe..
Let me not have to hear their cries
From a careless act of fate..
Keep their parents all aware, the fragileness
Of each young soul..
Don't let them waiver from their role of
Watching out for them..
Will not, a fire in the night and drag me
From my slumber..
To listen to the grieving hearts or the
Gratitude of others..
I don't want to hear the siren for an
Auto wreck tonight..
I've untangled enough twisted metal
With the Jaws of Life..
And when I wake tomorrow, grant me patience
When I see,.
A mother driving with her child
Without a safety seat..
Grant me wisdom in the situations I might
face with each new day,.
In case, by chance, there might be
a newborn on the way..
Just in case I lose the fight for someone's
Life I battled,.
Remind me that I'm fallible, just as human
As the rest..
Give me courage to move on although
It may not be enough..
And let me always give my best..

An EMT's Prayer
As I perform my duty Lord
Whatever be the call
Help to guide and keep me safe
From dangers big and small
I want to serve and do my best
No matter what the scene
I pledge to keep my skills refined
My judgement quick and keen
This calling to give of myself
Most do not understand
But I stand ready at the time
To help my fellow man
To have the chance to help a child
Restore his laugh with glee
A word of thanks I might not hear
But knowing its enough for me
The praise of men is fine for some
But I feel truly blessed
That you oh Lord have chosen me
