A Veteran's Poetic Prayer

A Veterans Prayer

"Lord when I was a serviceman
I wore my uniform with pride
So I pray for those serving now
And for the families
Of those who've died
I always get a lump in my throat
When I see Old Glory wave
And I always shed a tear
When I stand by a veterans grave
So I come to you tonight
.................................... With bowed head on bended knee
.................................... Praying you'll keep
.................................... Our military safe
.................................... As they fight to keep us free
.................................... AMEN"
