Viet Nam Prayer
For asking please forgive us Father
But were you with us here today?
In this place that must be hell.
If it is not, then we cannot tell.
We lost so many good friends here today.
It is so bad that we no longer know the way.
We have seen so much in this past year.
We really need to know that you are here.
We need your love, your guidance and a song.
We fear this place and that our being here is wrong.
So many of us seem lost.
Yet we stay together no matter the cost.
Please Father guide us and show us the way.
So that we can survive another day, and
If we are not to make it home,
Please do not let us die here all alone.
I wrote this many years ago, and thought I would share it now.
