Dear God

Dear God,
Please keep me safe
Through this strife
Please let my children
Never hear a war siren
Please keep my wife
In my now shortened life

Dear God,
Today I shot dead a man
Even saw you take his hand
Today I saw a man die
But you let him lie
Suffering like a fool
Dying in his crimson pool

Dear God,
I had just received a letter
My wife found someone better
I can't believe she left me
Considering I survived Normandy
I don't know what I'm to do
Yaweh, oh God where are you?

Dear God,
I'm in the IEU
The doctor says I'm due
I'm ready to leave
Leave the bloodied me
I'm sorry for doubting you
But honestly what did you do?

Amen
