"A Soldier's Prayer"

To the One Above whose service I'm in,
I lift my concerns, worries, and cares
as I serve my fellow citizens.
I fear for my comrades in arms
while we leave for our next mission.
I trust our commanders to obey
the orders they recieve and aid
us in serving our countrymen.
I ask for peace of mind as we
leave to face our impending battles.
I worry that this war is uncalled for
and harms many innocent people.
I am reluctant to blindly serve,
but it is my duty and privilege.
I ask the One Above to guide me
in this journey wrought with danger.
Please bring us all safely home,
but if I die, be with the ones I love.
