A Angel's Prayer

An angel's prayer

A cross he holds to his lips,
Praying silently as his hands tremble,
Screaming heard in the far distance.

His prayers get louder
As the screams
Draw closer.

"Bring me to Salvation, O'Lord!
Bring peace to this warfare!
Don't let more blood shed
Keep these followers safe in your hands!"
