Semper Fi

There’s this man that is 

no longer a boy. 

He’s waiting on paperwork 

so he can deploy.

I can’t tell you his name 

or where he is going.

Because we wouldn’t want 

the wrong people knowing. 

All I can tell you is 

he needs your prayers.

He needs them today 

as he prepares. 

He needs them next week 

and while he travels.

He needs prayers for peace 

so his nerves don’t unravel. 

He needs them next month 

while he adjusts to a new place.

He needs prayers for the others 

with him at his base. 

He needs prayers for his family 

who will miss him so much. 

This is a major life change 

which takes time to adjust. 

So the next time you stop 

to talk to the Lord.

Pray that this sacrifice 

reaps many rewards. 

Pray that He blesses 

this man and his family.

Pray for protection, 

for peace, and humanity.
