As I set up this new blog I felt I should start with a prayer. I can't think of a prayer more fitting than this one.
PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL
A poem by Peter S. Griffin
Dear Saint Michael, protector of Heaven's Gate,
Guide your Paratroopers, to a victorious fate...
Please keep us safe, in peace or war,
To right the wrongs, that God abhores...
Grant us speed, the flight of your wings,
The element of surprise, to deliver our sting...
Give our weapons, the fighting edge of your sword,
Equip us well, your Airborne wards...
Protect our flesh, with your heavenly shield,
Your warrior heart, that we won't yield...
Grant us strength, to endure the hardships,
Fairness in dealing, with those who would harm us...
Bend your wings, to form our perimeters,
That no enemy assault, could ever wither...
Grant us courage, in attack,
Protect our flanks, and our backs...
Pray for us, on bended knee,
Lead us through hell, to victory...
To God's enemies, grant your vision to see,
That evil will fall, to those who are free...
Tell them, freedom is a gift from God,
"The Home of the Brave", His blessed sod...
"America, America, God sheds his grace on thee",
Saint Michael, Patron Saint of Paratroopers,
LEAD US TO VICTORY!
