A SOLDIERS PRAYER Lord, as I go out to battle To defend my country's freedom I march behind my Flag of Red, White and Blue I ask that you help me and guide me Lord, where there is fear, replace it with courage Where there is weakness, give me strength Where there is fatigue Give me endurance Where there is despair Give me faith And when my brother or sister has fallen Give me the strength to carry them back to safety Out of harms way And when I have taken my enemies life in battle I ask you for forgive me for what I have done And realize I fought proudly for You, Lord, and My Country So that we will for ever remain The land of the Free Amen Ruby Alexandra Beloz copyright FEB 17, 2002 |

If I were an Artist I would paint you A Soldiers' Portrait But how do I paint my fear What colors would I use To show you my tears are private What paint brush will show you The emotions I hide deep inside What canvas do I choose To show you the blood Of my Brothers and Sisters That have died in Saddam's sand I say to you who watch Us from across the sea You simply cannot see For you arenot me? After it now longer bleeds My tears are private And you cannot see This Soldiers' Portrait For there is no color That descrives death Or a paint brush that Will paint back the loss Of my Brothers and Sisters limbs Yes, my tears are private my sorrow I carry For those killes In hte name of Freedom Do I really need a paint brush? Or can you see This Portrait of a Soldier Can you really see me? Ruby Alexandra Beloz APR 06, 2003 |
