COMING HOME

In a country far away

A soldier kneels in a desert and prays.

"Lord, I'm here in this far off land.

Please, give my family a helping hand.

I have been gone for so long.

Lord, I know you will make them strong.

Thou shall not kill is your law."

The soldier takes a silent pause.

"If I can kill, I do not know.

You will show me when I face my foe.

To protect my country, if i must die."

His prayer ended as he began to cry.

My prayers are with this soldier so alone.

I pray they will all be coming home.
