I Pray to God

Posted by admin in Poems From Patriots on 11 30th, 2009 | no comments

I pray to God that you never have to do what I have done
I pray to God that you never have to see what I have seen
I pray to God that you never have to kill another man as I have had to

I pray to God that you never have to watch your friends get wounded
I pray to God that you never have to watch your friends get maimed
I pray to God that you never have to watch your friends get killed

I pray to God that you never have to feel what its like to have a bullet enter your body
I pray to God that you never have to look at your leg and know you will never walk on it again
I pray to God that you never have to look at where your arm was and wonder where it is now

I pray to God that you never have to wonder if the medic is going to make it in time
I pray to God that you never have to wonder what you did wrong that got you shot
I pray to God that you never have to wonder if your actions got your friends killed

I pray to God that your parents never have to go through nights not knowing if you are alive
I pray to God that your parents never get that notice that you have been wounded
I pray to God that your parents never see that Notification team walking up the driveway
I pray to God that your parents never find out you were killed

about us

I have been so touched by these courageous men and women that I had to write a song about my feelings. In the middle of the night and in a moment of tearful reflection, I couldn’t help but think, what if one of those soldiers were my Son, Daughter, Brother, Sister, Mom or Dad? My heart is full of gratitude for all of the relatives of soldiers that are fighting for our American dream. This song reflects my appreciation for this great country that I live in and the sacrifices of past and present Soldiers which have allowed me the Freedom and Liberty that I enjoy everyday. Their courage cannot be matched. Their Loyalty to Protect our Country is amazing. They fight to protect the Freedom of Americans they have never met. Many have fallen along this journey; they are the Heroes that are engraved in my soul. It is in pure humility that I salute them. I feel the need to let this song travel through the internet in hope of showing my Gratitude for OUR Troops. God Bless our Troops and God Bless America.
