The Prayer of A Soldier

Lord, I ask for courage.
Courage to face and
Conquer my own fears...
Courage to take me where
Others will not go.

I ask for strength...
Strength of body to protect others...
I ask for dedication...
Dedication to my job, to do it well...
Dedication to my country,
To keep it safe.

Give me, Lord, concern...
For those who trust me
And compassion for those
Who need me, and Please Lord...
Through it all be at my side.

A Soldier

There is discipline in A Soldier

you can see it when he walks,

There is honor in A Soldier

you hear it when he talks.

There is courage in A Soldier

you can see it in his eyes,

There is loyalty in A Soldier,

that he will not compromise.

There is something in A Soldier,

that makes him stand apart,

There is strength in A Soldier

that beats from his heart.

A Soldier isn't a title any man 

can be hired to do.

A Soldier is the soul of that man

buried deep inside of you.

A Soldier's job isn't finished after 

an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,

A Soldier is always A Soldier 

even when he sleeps.

A Soldier serves his country first

and his life is left behind,

A Soldier has to sacrifice what

comes first in a civilian's mind.

If you are a civilian- 

I am saying this to you....

next time you see A Soldier

remember what they do/.

A Soldier is the reason our land

is "Home of the free", 

A Soldier is the one that is brave

protecting you and me.

If you are A Soldier-

I am saying this to you....

Thank God for EVERY SOLDIER

Thank God for what YOU do!
