Please Don’t Weep (Soldier)

Please Don’t Weep

If from this conflict I do not return,
Do not cry and weep for me
But know that in God’s plan,
His Heaven is where I should be.

I know that God did not wish me harm,
Or this wound inflict upon my frame,
But long before the earth was formed,
The Father knew my name.

I choose the path that I would take,
Of my own precious free will-
It was the one that I had to take,
And I would choose it still.

It matters not that I went sooner,
Than some would wish for me,
For all of you I dearly love,
Will join me for eternity.

I made the choice to be the one,
To offer my life this way,
In order to protect the land I love
And keep the enemy far away.

Sniff, I had a feeling this one would affect my allergies.
