It’s a battlefield CHRISTMAS where soldiers stand guard <br />Not being with loved ones is so very hard. <br />But you had made a decision to defend the human rights <br />And if it must be –then you will stand and fight. <br />The day is calm and in the foxhole you lay <br />And in your mind- you begin to pray. <br />“DEAR GOD “this is the day of your birth <br />And so many families are feeling the hurt. <br />They are praying where ever they can <br />And all we ask is for your helping hand. <br />Let there be peace and not one shot fired <br />Because as soldiers we are so very tired. <br />We have seen death and destruction every where <br />And it seems like no one cares. <br />Why has the human heart become so cold? <br />When once before their families they would hold.! <br />There once was flairs bursting in air <br />Now its bombs – and destruction they bare. <br />Just for this one day – all heads should bow <br />And give thanks for what we may have now. <br />So “DEAR GOD”- this is my soldier’s prayer <br />And with the world, your love I will share.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-soldier-s-prayer-8/
