Dear heavenly father
hear my prayer this night ,
and give our people
a whispered thought for life.
Let them want to be there
this year on Christmas Day,
to show our fallen soldiers
our gratitude and love let it be displayed.
May we take gifts to their bed side
and stay and talk a while,
To give them hope for humanity ,
and show them a reason to smile.
Dear Father let them see there,
within that soldiers eyes.
How much he loves this country ,
so much he would give his life.
For truly Lord we are indeted to them,
each and every day.
For our lifstyle without them
just would'nt be the same.
Embrace those men and women ,
and let them draw strength from us who cares,
and find their fight for freedom is well shared.
For Lord I know you have seen those soldiers,
there on the battlefield.
And have whispered in their ear many times,
and your embrace they did so feel.
For even in Christs time battles were won,
only I ask if the people would have rose that day,
would you have lost your son.
Yes I know of the stories
that you gave your son for us,
and it was in hope that together
we would learn how to love.
But Lord as you look upon us this day
know the new way we dont all agree,
for what is happening to this world
is so filled with greed .
Today as you walk into the hospital,
feel this love and share it this day.
Know to be so near to those men and women
they are the ones paving freedoms way.
Let not any man or woman
defile their love you see.
For they give their all as Christ did
for the love of you and me.
Author notes
Be one of the millions to embrace those that has kept our freedom in this country alive . Shake the hand of the men and women who stood on the front lines .You want to know the truth of what is really happening today
Then know we can help those men and women though our love find the way to heal today .
I dont know who this is in the picture and I hope they dont mind if I have it with my poem but yes we all need to help those who has given their all to help us .

Emotionally, that is very touching, and I really liked it. As a piece of writing, it could probably be edited slightly, but it is very, very readable!

Beautiful and poignant, a tribute to the sacrifices made by honorable men and women each day. Although I don't always agree with the politics behind the wars being fought, I do not doubt the honor and dedication of those who serve our nation and others, and they deserve our thoughts and prayers, and gratitude.
Thank you for sharing it with us all.

Oh Joe! I'm so sorry I missed this poem. I just saw it on your front page. It's really wonderful and so much more than a prayer. I just realized this poem wasn't written by Cup of Joe. I came to it from his page. It's wonderful.

Pat,
Thank you so much for this. As a combat wounded veteran, and as an employee at a VA Hospital this means a lot.
I pray that people read this and take the time to visit some veteran some where this upcoming season.
May God bless and hold you.
Joe
