Out on the battle field <br />A soldier risks his own <br />So courageous yet full of fear <br />To rid the world of all wrong <br /> <br />Sweat drips from his brow <br />As enemy fire surrounds <br />He only thinks of his mission <br />As he hears the dying sounds <br /> <br />He prays under his breath <br />But means it from his heart <br />God please let me live <br />Long enough to do my part <br /> <br />As he then runs for cover <br />He feels a burning in chest <br />And prays, Oh, God I've been hit <br />Please let me make it to rest <br /> <br />As he approaches his destination <br />He falls to the sand <br />He looks up toward heaven <br />And see's Jesus with out reached hands <br /> <br />He looks over to a buddy <br />And says please relay my love <br />To my family back home <br />For I'm destined for peace above<br /><br />Lagaya Evans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/last-prayer-of-a-dying-soldier/
