A Soldiers Prayer

Author Unknown

I saw a soldier kneeling down, for this was the first quiet place he had found. He had traveled through jungles, rivers and mud. His hands were scarred and toil-warned.

He folded his hands and looked to the sky... I saw his tears, as they welled in his eyes. He spoke to God, and this is what he said.

God Bless my men, who now lie dead; I know not what You have in mind , but when You judge, please be kind....when they come before You, they will be poorly dressed but will walk proudly, for they have done their best.

Their boots will be muddy and their clothes all torn...but these clothes they have so proudly worn. Their hearts will be still and cold inside, for they have fought their best and did so with pride.

So please take care of them as they pass Your way...the price of freedom they've already paid.

AMEN!
