A Prayer

Tonight we say a prayer, for those who now 

Depart, 

If I had a single wish, this day would now 

Restart. 

I do not shed a tear, for I know they are 

At peace, 

Knowing they've gone to a better place, is 

A comfort to say the least. 

So brave were these men, that there 

Blood now sows the soil, 

Life will return to this barren place, a result 

Of all their toil. 

So will you join me now, and offer a single 

Thought, 

With all our minds together as one, 

Balance may be restored. 

I dread the morning light, for I know it 

Could be death, 

And I hope that you will give a prayer, 

as my body is laid to rest. 

And do not call this sorrow, for death is 

But a door, 

All the splendor that lies beyond, is like 

Nothing you've seen before.
