Dedicated to
American Prisoners of War and Missing in Action
The Loneliest Prayer As I squat here in the lonely place · A man maybe even you forgot, · I wonder, · Am I alive or not? · I think it's more than ten years now · Since my last friend left this place. · I guess he's back home - · Whatever that is - · Among the human race. · Forgive me Lord, · If I seem untrue · To the values that my parents taught, · To my thoughts of you, · Of family and of country - · Those things for which I fought. · But, as I've endured the endless days · That dragged on into years, · I've battled with all my very being · To hold back bitter tears. · My children, · By now they're nearly grown. · My poor wife - she's had that too; · She's raised them all alone. · I've wept to hold my darlings, · To watch my children grow, · To feel your presence, Lord, · My faith in you to show. · Bless me, Father, and take this life, · Please let it end today. · I wonder how they listed me - · POW or MIA?
By Hardy Abbott Official Poem of the National Forget-Me-Not Association 1987
