SEE THE LIGHT
OH, HOW THOSE IN OUR MILITARY ACROSS THE SEAS MUST WEEP,
SEEING OUR COUNTRY IN HATRED SO STEEP.
LONGING FOR THEIR HOMELAND OF THE BRAVE TO ONCE AGAIN WALK,
FREELY TO BE AT THE SIDE OF LOVED ONES ONCE AGAIN JOINED IN TALK.
LORD HOLD THEM IN YOUR ARMS AND KEEP THEM FROM FURTHER HARM,
FROM THEIR NATION FOR THAT WHICH INDEED HAS FROM WITHIN BROUGHT THEM ALARM.
OH LORD GOD, LIFT THEM UP TO THE HEAVENS ON HIGH
THESE BRAVE SOULS FOR THEIR COUNTRY ARE WILLING TO DIE.
HELP US SEE THE LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT
AND OPEN OUR EYES THAT WE MAY GAIN OUR SIGHT

Very beautiful and timely. Short and sweet but also very insightful as to what is going on in the world today. It’s nice to see you posting poems again, this is my favorite area of your awesome sight.
