A SOLDIER’S PRAYER
Dear Lord
Please let me have regular dreams like others do
Not these nightmares of memory
Let my dreams be filled with light and joy
Not smoke and terror
Let me hear the laughter of children
Not the screams of men dying
Let the birds fill the air with song
Not the sounds of bombs and bullets
Let the rivers run pure and clear
Not red with blood
Let everyone be healthy and whole
Not missing limbs and faces
Let the earth look as you made it
Not scorched and cratered
Let me wake up smiling
Not searching for the enemy
Let the sweat on my pillow be from summer’s heat
Not the sweat of fear and anxiety
but dear Lord most of all
I beg you
Please don’t let my children or their children
pray to you as I am doing tonight
Amen
Pete that was a beautiful tribute.
” It is foolsih and wrong to mourn the men who died . Rather we should thank god that such men lived “
Peggy not only have I made tributes to fallen soilders but I have made them as well to the soliders that are currently fighting for our freedom here on the boards over the 8 years I have been here. But I disagree,,,,,,,we should always remember those that have died for their country, so as thier death was not in vain. They gave up their most precious and unselfish gift for others so that they may live. But each person has the right( That right was bought, remember by someones death somewhere on the battle field) to believe what one chooses too.
i think you compleatly miss understood my post but never mind
