A Fallen Solider's Prayer Poem. by Kelly Roper. Dear Lord, The battle is over for me, My mission to fight is finished, And my time on earth is over, Guide me home to you, Lord, But watch over my brothers and sisters still in the heat of battle, Protect them, Lord, body and soul, And if it pleases Your will, Deliver them safely to their loved ones, Until it's their time to join You in Heaven. Rest In Peace Private Seán Rooney.
