For the Soldiers With No Bed

Bright sun upon the brow, Baron dry land loose, blistering sand, parched lips, Scorched feet... Oasis green, lush palms, Thirst quenched Beds like opened graves, bed of sand. Rest our protector, teach the peace and tolerence of others. Rest our soldiers until your job is fulfilled. God bless you!!

Awesome prayer for our soldiers. This country should never again defile the American soldier like they did in the Viet Nam war (conflict). God Bless you and thank you for your comment, I live in the country and battle pesky all the time too. Ron

Nicely done on the subject of the tough life of a soldier. We just don't know what they are going through. Keep writing. Sara The thing about the snail is about death we neve know when it could be our turn and the idea came from a picture. I think that I sent them to you. Janice and Miss Carolyn were in a bad wreck coming back for the Home Coming tomorrow. Someone took them back to Jesup to Janice's after they were allowed to go home from the hospital. Mom
