Dear Lord,
Hear my quiet prayer
Listen to my story,
Let me know you care.
A young man died today,
His family left behind to carry on
All they were given was a patch,
From his uniform it was sewn upon.
A young woman cried today,
Her life was torn in two.
She watched her husband flip the car,
And break the window as he went through.
A young boy lied today,
His thoughts clouded by hate and greed,
He was too young to understand,
Where his faults would lead.
A young girl tried today,
To fit in at her new school.
She just couldnt quite grasp,
That people could be so cruel.
A thousand people denied today,
Not allowed to enter a new land.
They had nothing for them anywhere,
The new laws they just couldnt understand.
These people never hurt anyone,
They never did anything wrong.
But Life decided not to play nice,
Life decided they didnt belong.
So, when they make it to Heaven,
If they ever do,
One by one theyll fall in line
As Lifes unlucky few.
