Fathers Pride

Fathers send their sons Off to war with such pride, they fight for political beliefs, Where so many have died. What father would encourage, Their beloved to be in harms way? Knowing on the battle fields, Their life may be taken? Each soldier freely chooses, To put their life on the line, Believing their actions ensure A better world left behind. You say you can't understand How God could sacrifice His son, Giving Christ to choice, If man's soul was lost or won. Each day battles are fought, Lives taken because of convictions. Why did God allow His son to die? There will always be conflictions.

Rev, I like this for what it is and I like the way you question god's actions even though you are of the cloth....David
