I read this today and experienced an extremely heavy heart afterward. I know it may hit some hard and other may just 'blow' it off but this is One Marine that will never forget the MEN and WOMEN that paved the road for my Marine experience with their Blood, Sweat, Tears and some Their Lives.
I'm still Proud to Claim the Title.

God Bless These Men and the Family's that still wait.



THE LONELIEST PRAYER

AS I SQUAT HERE IN THIS LONELY PLACE
A MAN MAYBE EVEN YOU FORGOT.
I WONDER, AM I IN LIVING HELL?
AM I ALIVE OR NOT?
I THINK IT'S MORE THAN TEN YEARS NOW
SINCE MY LAST FRIEND LEFT THIS PLACE.
I GUESS HE'S BACK HOME-
WHATEVER THAT IS-
AMONG THE HUMAN RACE.
FORGIVE ME, LORD,
IF I SEEM UNTRUE
TO THE VALUES MAY PARENTS TAUGHT.
BUT, AS I'VE ENDURED THE ENDLESS DAYS
THAT DRAGGED ON INTO YEARS,
I'VE BATTLED WITH ALL MY VERY BEING
TO HOLD BACK BITTER TEARS.
MY CHILDREN,
BY NOW THEY'RE NEARLY GROWN.
MY POOR WIFE - SHE'S HAD THAT TOO;
SHE'S RAISED THEM ALL ALONE.
I'VE WEPT TO HOLD MY DARLINGS,
TO WATCH MY CHILDREN GROW,
TO FEEL YOUR PRESENCE, LORD,
MY FAITH IN YOU TO SHOW.
BLESS ME, FATHER, AND TAKE THIS LIFE.
PLEASE LET IT END TODAY.
I WONDER HOW THEY LISTED ME -
POW OR MIA?



Don't forget my Friends....I Won't.
