A SOLDIER'S PRAYER <br />Melvin Banggollay <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Unto thee my Lord <br />I humbly lift up my soul <br />As I fervently unfold <br />prayers of thy soul. <br /> <br />I thank you dear Lord <br />For this life you gave <br />For the grace untold <br />and my sins you paid, <br />Strength you bestowed <br />amidst dangers grave, <br />Wisdom you've showed <br />when confusion's wave, <br />Love I have deployed <br />for my families cave, <br />and care I employed <br />for my enemies crave. <br /> <br />Make me a peace maker <br />even at my enemies ends, <br />that I may help our brothers <br />end troubles and amend. <br />Let my gun kill no one <br />Even I may be in danger <br />For I hate to hurt anyone <br />nor make lifeless cadaver. <br /> <br />Keep me out of any danger <br />that I can be a good keeper <br />of peace with every brother <br />Even if I may lost my temper. <br />Make me a soldier of peace <br />of brotherhood with all ease <br />For I wish to have a country <br />free from chaos and tyranny. <br /> <br />All these I pray and ask <br />In the Mighty name of JESUS...AMEN<br /><br />MELVIN BANGGOLLAY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-soldier-s-prayer-2/
