A Soldier’s Prayer
Submitted by Irene L Mandra

 

Lord, I pray from day to day
To help me understand
How Americans view their heroes
And how they judge a man?
If being some one famous
Is looked upon with awe,
Something’s wrong with our values
Then what are we fighting for?
I’m in the military
And proud of what I do
But I need to feel some strength
Some love,
That’s why I pray to you.
Some of our families left us
And now as years have passed
I realize the burden and the stress
For each day could be our last
I’m in the field of combat
Where bullets are surrounding
And very few care who have died
Protecting Americans born free
I’m just asking for some comfort
Some support, and one thing more
To be given Respect and Honor
From the Americans
We’re all fighting for.
