Prayer of a Yankee Mother.
Dear Lord,
You gave you Son to save the world.
You didn't count the cost
In blood and sacrifice4;
You gave Your Son that we might live.
Dear Lord.
Can I do less?
I give the world my son
That he may help to save
The things for which Your Son
So nobly died.
If, when the Victory's won, Dear God.
And you send back my son,
I'll press him to my breast and thank You Lord.
And if he goes to join Your Son
I'll understand;
And through my tears, rejoice
To know that my son and the Son of God
Go hand in hand...
Poem written by Norma Adamson of Salt Lake City who lost her boy in service.
Give Me Strength.
God! I asked in Spirit bowed,
Give me strength to make me proud
That he, our boy, our Blessed Son,
Has helped the fight that once begun.
Must take the lives of countless more
To keep our honor safe and pure.
Give me Strength O God above,
To bless the years in which i loved,
protected him and gave him joy,
and faith and trust.
Our blessed boy who through the
shock of Battle stayed
Brave and strong and unafraid.
God I ask through all my grief,
Let me keep my firm belief
That through he died, "twas not in vain
For he has helped to ease the pain.
And bring a martyred world relief,
And nearer everlasting Peace.
