| Angels of Mercy | 
|
| As she knelt to say a prayer,
A soft touch felt, yet no one there.
Her heart, though heavy, heard the strings,
A harp's sweet music on Angel's wings.
Dear God, I need You most tonight,
Another's gone, he lost the fight.
I held his hand, he slipped away,
His final words, "Will you pray?
Not for me, for I am blessed,
I walked the path and passed the test.
Send your Angels, send them strong,
For all my Brothers left here alone.
Send your Angels to my Mom,
Let her know her boy was strong.
I'll wait for her at Heaven's door,
Along with Dad who went before.
One final thing before I go,
Bless this nurse, she'll need you most.
She held my hand, she heard my prayer,
I thank you God, for her sweet care."
She prayed, she cried and prayed some more,
For those she's lost in the name of war.
"God, give me courage to rise again,
So much to do, so many brave men."
She washed her face and combed her hair,
Paused to wonder why she's there?
"I need you, child, we've all agreed,
It's why you're called my Angel of Mercy." | Lynn Price
