 Dear Lord,

This poem/prayer was written for my mom about my two brothers who are
both stationed in Iraq right now. Please support our troops!


Dear Lord,
As I lay Down My Head,
These Tears I begin To Shed,
I Raised Them For So Many Years,
And Now I Face My Worst Fears,
As They're In A Foreign Place,
Living Nightmares Many Will Never Face,
To Make Me Proud They Had Signed,
But Now Here I lay Left Behind,
Can't Help Them In Any Way,
And It Feels So Worthless Just To Pray,
They Are Not Just My Sons,
They Are Two Of Life's Greatest Joys,
My World, My Life, My Everything They Are,
So Listen While They Are So Far,
Please Answer Me This One Prayer,
Keep Them Safe Over There,
Protect Them For Me,
As They Keep Our Nation Free,
Let THem Be Strong,
Then Send Them Home To Me Where They Belong.
Amen.
