A Soldier's Prayer

Dear Lord, I know you have business all over the world, so I'll make this very brief If it's not your will for us to prevail, then my life I pray you keep It's not that I'm a selfish person, but I live in constant fear In a place where if you scream inside, there's no one there to hear I want to see my lovely wife, for she's a part of me Everywhere that she wants to go is somewhere I want to be I want to see my children, for they're little angels of mine And I think it's fair and only fair for them to see me one last time I want to be reunited with friends, so spare me if you will Don't fault me for my wrongdoings, it"s to be killed or to kill I have to go so hear me now and spare me one more day And let me live a happy life, for I wish not to perish this way
