An Old Soldier's
Prayer
I have
fought when others feared to serve.
I have gone
where others failed to go.
I've lost friends in
war and strife,
Who valued Duty more than love
of life.
I have shared the comradeship of
pain.
I have searched the lands for men that we
have lost.
I have sons who served this land of
liberty,
Who would fight to see that other
stricken lands are free.
I have seen the
weak forsake humanity.
I have heard the
traitors praise our enemy.
I've seen challenged
men become even bolder,
I've seen the Duty,
Honor, Sacrifice of the Soldier.
Now I
understand the meaning of our lives,
The loss
of comrades not so very long ago.
So to you who
have answered duties siren call,
May God bless
you my son, may God bless you
all.
