Nights long, constant sounds of attack, A soldiers nightmare, of not returning back. "Focus, stay, focused," is the whispers in his ears, Borderline losing it, when its his wife´s voice he hears
Running, hiding, become daily routine, Blood shed on both sides, now a daily scene. There it is, that sweet sound, The comfort in his wife´s voice, the peace he has found.
"Focus honey, be careful, I love you, " ringing in his head, "Everything is going to be alright, just as God said." Call unto Him, and lay your burdens aside, God is the Commander, traveling by your side.
A smile touches his lips, as he visions her face, Standing alone in the kitchen, keeping things in place.
Knees buckling, she hit the floor, Tears streaming, as she prayed once more.
"Father, please, I know there´s something wrong, My heart is now offbeat, no longer a perfect song. Keep Your hand upon him, heal what needs healing, He is scared, Lord, and his pain I am feeling. There´s not much I believe in, but I do believe in You, I do believe in miracles, and the healing that you do. Let him know I miss him, and I need him hear with me, Let him feel my heart Lord, his love is what I need. Thank you, Lord, for listening and comforting my heart, Thank you for giving us stregnth, even though we´re miles apart." Amen.
As he lays there, upon the enemies soil, He remember his loving wife, and the faith she holds so loyal. He can almost feel her now, as he slowly drifts away, Blackness embraces him, and his heart hears all she has to say.
Lightness comes from the distance, a woman dressed in white, Beauty shining within her eyes, as she reaches out tonight. Lips pursed in a smile, as she whispers I love you, DOn´t you worry honey, Our God will see you through.
She placed a kiss, soft and gentle to his skin, As he reached out for her,the light gone, he began to pray again.
"Father, please, my wife and I are believers, we know your name, My wife is my rock, and I dream of our children to be, I can feel her weeping Lord, I know she feels my pain, Being away from her, is driving me insane. I can hear her voice, shakey at times, Telling me she loves me and be careful, I will be just fine. Yet Lord, she has found comfort, in your embrace, Such a powerful hold you have on her, for someone who has no face. Noone has ever seen you, but it seems they feel your presence,
So Lord, if you can wipe away disease, and make the lame walk, I am the reason,pushing you away was simply, all my fault. I have come to realize what I was so blind to see, That you have came to my rescue, in all my times of need. I want you to know Lord, I thank you, something I never said, For being with my wife, my children, and the sinful life I led. For if it wasn´t for you, I would of been dead long ago, So if I have to go now Lord, there´s one thing I have to know. Will I walk in Glory, will I see my Maker´s face? Will I see my wife again, in a righteous place? I know so many questions, but I feel her pain, Can you let her know Lord, I love her just the same. That she was my rock, my best friend, The mother of my children, her powerful stregnth I commend. She is my heart and soul, she is the sparkle in my eyes, She is my hope, as the long nights slip by. (tears flooding this soldiers face) Her picture is what I hold, as I slip off to sleep, But as I drift away now, her memories I will keep. Thank You Lord, for the Angel you shared with me, Keep her in your loving embrace, for eternity.
Eyelids flicker, the light so bright, The commander looking down at him, "Son are you alright?" Tears flooded his vision, as God reached for him, ”It´s alright son, another chance your given”.
Picking up the phone, he had to make a call, But before he could, his wife was in the hall. As the door swung open, tears in her eyes, "God told me you will be fine," choking back her cries.
As she watched her husband, she could feel the presence of the Lord, Knowing with all her heart, her husband has been saved. "Thank you God, for all you´ve said and done.
