Dear Father Up In Heaven Today

DEAR FATHER UP IN HEAVEN TODAY
> I BOW BEFORE THY THRONE,
> ON BEHALF OF ALL THE SOLDIERS
> THAT MIGHT NOT EVEN COME HOME.
> 
> MY HEART GRIEVES FOR THE FAMILIES
> OF A DAUGHTER OR A SON,
> THAT WAS SENT TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY
> SOMETHING LORD HAS TO BE DONE,
> 
> THE SOLDIERS ARE GETTING KILLED THERE
> AS THEY JUST TRY TO KEEP THE PEACE,
> BUT EVIL MEN SURROUND THEM LORD
> WILL THIS BATTLE EVER CEASE.
> 
> PLEASE LORD GUIDE AND PROTECT THEM
> AS THEIR DUTY THEY PROUDLY DO,
> TO SAVE OUR NATIVE COUNTRY LORD
> AND TRY TO BRING PEACE THERE TO.
> 
> ITS TIME TO BRING THEM HOME LORD
> WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR FRIENDS,
> THE ENEMY,IS DESTROYING THEM,
> PLEASE LORD MAKE THIS END.
> 
> I SENT THEM A WRITTEN BOUQUET
> AND A PRAYER RIGHT FROM MY HEART,
> PLEASE LORD END THIS FIGHTING
> THAT WE WISH HAD NEVER STARTED,
>
