Father, in this stillness, in this darkness <br />I haven't the choice but to surrender <br />To solemnly, defeated now render <br />These weapons I once used for Your greatness <br /> <br />One last charge into the fray, I now lead <br />Hoping to shatter this e'er present dark <br />So, to the lines, with passion, I embark <br />To attempt to save the one who's in need <br /> <br />Lord, please guide my footsteps as I now tread <br />And for this last stand, won't You grant success <br />Make Your presence more, make my presence less <br />If for Your kingdom's sake, leave me for dead <br /> <br />For nothing's more important than her soul <br />Leave me for dead, Lord, if she be left whole<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-last-stand/
