A Land So Far From My Home

Take me where others will not go, Concern for those who trust me, Compassion for those who need me. I protect my country With all my heart and soul. Dear Lord, my God.... I know you hear me, Way up and protect my family, My beloved whom I promise. Please comfort me, I'm crying. Please spouse a thought For my family Awaiting for a dreadful news. I'm giving my life To keep my country free, A land so far from my home. ______________________ Thank you for reading. Chitta
