RIP BOYS

[NJMedic 96]

To fallen soldiers let us sing
where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
to the mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
just divine embrace, eternal light
in the mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard tho the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep the mansions of the Lord

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.

-- Abraham Lincoln, November 1864

The firefighter stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass

He hoped his shoes were shining, Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, you firefighter, How shall I deal with you?

Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?"

The firefighter squared his shoulders and said," No, Lord, I guess I ain't

Because those of us who fight fire, Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was tough,

And sometimes I've been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough

But, I never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep...

Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep,

And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear,

And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here

They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand,

I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand.

"There was a silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod

As the firefighter waited quietly, For the judgment of his God,

"Step forward now you firefighter, You've borne your burdens well,

" Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell."

“I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice.”

The Firefighter's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God

Whenever flames may rage,

Give me the strength to save some life

Whatever be its age,

Help me embrace a little child

Before it is too late

Or save an older person from

The horror of that fate

Enable me to be alert and

Hear the weakest shout

And quickly and efficiently

To put the fire out

I want to fill my calling and

To give the best in me,

To guard my every neighbor and

Protect his property

And if according to my fate

I am to lose my life,

Please bless with your

protecting hand

My children and my wife.

Amen

Rest in peace Brother.
