It's time to sleep
I've been relieved
My rifle at my side
My knife in it's sheath
Lord let me live another day
As I put myself in harms way
I made my choice, I took the oath
I stand for freedom, but I don't boast
My God, my country, my family
The things I hold so dear
With these all on my side
There's nothing for me to fear
But if I should fall before my next relief
I will stand before you Lord with honor and dignity
So, while I'm here please make me strong
To fight the battles and right what's wrong
God Bless America

I hope people like the poem. I wrote it for my daughter, a Marine (yes, I know. she's not a soldier, she's a Marine). I wanted to encompass all branches of our armed forces, and give a heartfelt thank you for your service.
