A Soldier's Answered Prayer

As I lift my eyes unto Heaven,
And silently I whisper a prayer,
O', Father, please look down on us,
In this time of desperate despare,

Now, as we lay waiting the attack,
Our little groupe of seven,
We are not afraid of dying,
Nor do we look back,
For we are ready to take,
Our place with You in Your beautiful Heaven.

I know Dear Father,
You see can us,
And our enemy not so far,
In Your Hands, with Faith, we Trust,
And In Jesus Our Guiding `Star`.

The dust from the storm is raging,
Its`blinding swirls seem to consume us,
Yet we lay here patiently waiting,
No Moans of Fear, But in You we trust.

As explosions sound we wonder,
And wait yet a little while,
For over the next ridge--Yonder,
Only a few feet,
But seems more Than a Mile.

Suddenly, comes a `Bright` and `Shining` light,
From some where up above,
Words ring out, with a Glorious Shout,
"No more Death, Destruction or Dispair",
Neather Here or any where about,
As a sweet fragrants fills the air

Then appears the wings of a Snow White `Dove`
JESUS, bringing `PEACE`, and
~`BROTHERLY LOVE`~

As He answers a Souldier`s Prayer.

Always yours~~~~~~~ John-Paul

May I add:
This poem means so much to Me --
though I`m too old to
serve my Country again,
My heart is laying over there in the sand with those so Brave.
