A Prayer for a Soldier | Filed under Friends
As many will be enjoying the 4th, let us not forget those special ones fighting or those who have fought so we can enjoy this holiday.
One needs special thoughts and prayers if you are so inclined. Carlo, is experiencing a difficult time right now. Please drop by here and let him know you are thinking of him and appreciate all he does.
This is for you Carlo.
A Prayer for a soldier
If ever there was a time for a prayer to be heard.
And now is the time, to hear every word.
Now that our boys called soldiers have gone,
Please march with them and keep them strong.
Stand beside them if they have to fight,
And in the darkness be their light.
Don’t desert them, march in their faith,
So they’ll be here when the morning breaks.
Bring them home safe and sound,
Across the waters to peaceful ground.
Home to loved ones, mother’s, wives, daughters, sons,
Bless them all, each and every one.
They stand for freedom and make our flag true,
These boys called soldiers for the red, white and blue.
A prayer for a soldier, please let it be heard,
And please Lord, hear every word.
A prayer for a soldier, with the job to be done,
Please bring them home, these soldiers your sons.
Please bring them home, the soldiers, your sons. AMEN.
“Prayer for a Soldier” is a power-pop ballad that is a strong tribute to our military. This song was the first release from an album with other songs that are a fusion of rock, country, pop, and blues. It has also been released as a CD Single. It is performed by Memphis Exchange. Written by Bill Walsh, Linda Beers, Matt Twain.

Hi Vickie,
that is a beautiful poem. I can’t imagine how hard it must be for those soldiers on duty in a foreign country, away from loved ones, trying to help and being in danger. What a world we live in! I hope you’re alright. Take care.
