As I Lay
As I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
A beautiful prayer always said
You are off fighting a war instead
I lay here a lone thinking of you
Alone in a place with friends far and few
Say your prayers before patrol
Come back alive is your only goal
As I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
Bring him home safe to me
Let him fight for innocents to be free
Back from patrol still in one piece
I continue to pray for the war to cease
One day soon you will come home
So I don’t have to lay here a lone.
As I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
You heard my prayer and he is home
Thank you God I am not a lone

Thank you ANGEL for a very moving and complete story in your poem. We all have loved ones in the Military and we pray for them 24/7 for their safety and above all else for their safe return. When they do return safe it is an opportunity to thank GOD for both hearing and answering PRAYER ~ AMEN BRIAN
