A Humble Prayer

A Humble Prayer

I pray for every soul not at rest, who paid a price which I repay with my most humble thanks and sincere promise to never forget.

I pray for every soul still feeling the pain: for family and friends and especially for those eyes filled with sadness, those minds crying for peace and those hearts that broke and scattered across a country so far away in miles but not time.

I ask for understanding from those who judged without walking through the nightmare and wish that they will know the sacrifice, regardless of the politics, that sent these men and women so far away.

I cry when thinking that love and life given was spat upon by angry crowds shouting from the safety of American shores where the flag can protect a person's rights but cannot prevent a bullet from causing destruction.

And I am proud to stand in silent awe of those men and women who feel that my life and the quality of my life is worth fighting for.

God Bless the souls of each Vietnam Vet and make welcome my prayers on their behalf.



Even though this was written by someone else it totally describes my feelings.
