A Prayer for our Soldiers

May the Lord and all his glory
Shine down on you today
To ease your pain and longing
For this we gently pray.

We hold you in our hearts
With so much Love and Pride
Your courage and your dedication
Will never be denied.

Your families and your loved ones
Wait for your return
Peace will bring you home again
For this our hearts do yearn.

We pray that when you rest at night
To face another day
That the Lord be by your side
To guide you on your way.

Donna Mae

Welcome Donna!

Adding my prayers with a bump-up to the stars. This is simply lovely.

Welcome, Donna.

I will add my prayers to yours... not just for the soldiers, but to those waiting for them as well.  Beautifully penned.

Hey Donna,

This is a great poem with a timeless message.  It seems there's never a day when our soldiers aren't in need of our support.  Your poem is wonderful.  I'd love to read more of your work.
