A CHRISTMAS PRAYER
By Stephen L. Doherty



Dear Lord I have a special wish, on this Christmas Day.

A wish of thanks and special grace for heroes far away.

For while we celebrate at home and savor freedom's touch

A world away, a soldier stands--defending oh so much,

Our Christmas tree is lit so bright, sparkling on this moonlit night,

Our children safe in warm embrace, shielded from our nation's plight,

Oh Lord, we look to you for strength, to reassure our freedom's might.

And Santa Claus--lest you forget, you too owe these young folks a debt. Because the enemy we face this time around, won't hesitate to shoot YOU down.

Not long ago you left them toys when they were little girls and boys.

They're soldiers now in hostile lands, but still could use your loving hands. So Santa Claus, please don't forget--to leave a gift where a soldier stands.

And happy Birthday Jesus, for those who might forget-

the greatest gift to all mankind was the one your Father sent.

And children listening everywhere, I ask you too to say a prayer.

It's Christmas Eve- you're safe tonight; I pray you'll never have to fight.

So one last time my Lord I pray--please keep them safe and harm at bay. America's best are in harm's way--to secure for us this Christmas Day.
