Poem
Lord, place Thy Hand on the yoke of those who fly, And guide them through the vast reaches of the sky. Bring them safely through their perilous flight, And may they ever look to Thee as their Guiding Light. Lord, protect the sailors who sail the treacherous seas. Calm the roiling waters that they may cruise with ease. May they always look to Thee as their Pilot for support, And with Thy guiding hand, bring them safely home to port. Lord, protect the soldier with Thy mighty sword midst the battle. Give him strength to press on despite the muskets' rattle. Hear his fervent supplication for Thy protection from all harm, And provide him with courage as he leans on Thy eternal arm. Lord, shield the brave marine as he storms the dangerous strand. Strengthen him with fortitude and provide Thy protective hand. Surround him with Thy angels as he strives to overcome the foe. Bring him safely through the conflict and upon him honor bestow. Lord, bless and provide comfort to his family, for they also serve. Until that day they are one again, give them hope and steady nerve. Hear their prayers O' Lord, for the safe return of heroes dear, And from their trust, hope and faith in Thee, may they never veer. Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (c) All Rights Reserved
