Married to a firefighter

I am the proud wife to a firefighter
Everyday he goes out I gradually hold him tighter
For I fear what life would be like without
Sometimes I just want to pout
I want him to be happy
But yet I feel crappy
For wanting him to quit his dream
Looking at what it might seem
I don't want him to quit
I don't want him to throw a fit
I just want him stay alive
Everyday I struggle to survive
When he leaves I turn on the news
Just to see if he's the next victim of the fire's clues
I hold his picture by my side
And think of all the tears I've cried
I want him to be ok
But I know there is no way
When he's a firefighter
Dark skies seem lighter
I'll always be a firefighter's wife
Because he is my life

I feel the fear in you of losing
your husband for his line of work,but to be proud of his duty to save and never do we know when someone walks out our door,what if..can't live that way ,,I try as my husband is a volunteer firefighter..and the posting is coming up for he will be full time soon....everytime he gets a call..we all will have those thoughts,,never let fear get the best of you.....beleive me...be proud...I might have got carried away,,but
I understand what you mean:)))))))
