The Ladies Auxiliary Prayer

The Ladies wait while their men respond, United as one in a common bond.

The bond of serving, each in their own way,

The needs that arise be what they may.

The reheated meals, the unsipped drink,

Are common occurrence, much more than you think?

It’s mostly routine and done without flair

The men return, the ladies are there.

But then comes the call, the tough one to fight,

a working fire that may last through the night.

The Ladies again wait, but this time they know

that sooner or later they will go.

As they wait for the signal, the time draws near,

for that sooner or later to be suddenly here.

The men are weary, some of them spent,

the refreshments that arrive, are heaven sent.

The Auxiliary in fact is more than a name it’s a dedicated arm of the volunteer game.
So God when we pray, for firemen’s care, include the Ladies who are always there.
