A SOLDIER'S PRAYER

I signed a piece of paper,
I took an oath as well.
I promised to protect My Country,
Tis’ a mission I can’t fail.

I’ve banded with my comrades
So together strong we stand;
In defense of this Great Nation,
Of this bright and promised land.

So, I will gladly do my duty
And if I must give my all,
My prayer will be…those left behind
Will continue to stand tall…

To fight for Peace and Freedom
To protect Sweet Liberty
I pray, Dear Father
That you grant this humble
SOLDIER’S PLEA.
