For A Friend
A soldier lying dying
Another youthful waste
Dying in a strange land
Surrounded by your foe
All the people left behind
To mourn your passing on
Marching forward To join God's Army
Up in the heavenly sky
So to my brave soldier
I leave you with this prayer
May the Lord take your soul
And bless it on its way
And bless the soul of all whose died
Fighting in the name of peace.
Dedicated to a faceless Friend I never met, but many a great moment we shared.
Dave Emmerson
