A Soldiers Prayer
Look God:
I have never spoken to You,
But now I want to say,
"How do You do."
You see God,
they told me You did not exist;
And, like a fool,
I believed all of this.
Last night from a shell hole
I saw Your sky;
I figured right then
they had told me a lie.
Had I taken the time
to see the things You made,
I would know they weren't calling
a spade a spade.
I wonder, God,
if You would shake my hand;
Somehow, I feel
that You will understand.
Strange, I had to come
to this hellish place
Before I had time to see Your face.
Well, I guess there isn't
much more to say,
But I am sure glad, God,
I met You today.
I guess the zero hour
will soon be here,
But I am not afraid
since I know You are near.
The signal - well, God,
I will have to go;
I love you lots,
this I want you to know.
Looks like this will be
a horrible fight;
Who knows, I may come
to your house tonight.
Though I wasn't friendly
with you before,
I wonder, God,
if you would wait at the door.
Look, I am crying,
me shedding tears!
I wish I had known you
these many years.
Well, I will have to go now, God.
Goodbye
Strange, since I met you,
I am not afraid to die.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Thanks, Dare
Amen.
That poem says a great deal..
