Soldier's Prayer Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Soldier's Prayer



Dear God hear me
Get me safely home
Away from this hell on earth
Back to those I love.

Terror overwhelms me
I fear my life will end
Bloody on the battlefield
Never seeing parents again.

Be my strength and purpose
Light within this darkness
Uplift my spirit
So I endure and survive.
