Buahrangers Revetment: Poety and Stories by Vietnam Veteran, Anthony W. Pahl and friends

When I say I’ll say a prayer I get my little book
And write a name and reason, and who requested it
So every night before I sleep, and sometimes in the day
I take my little book out, and with it in my hands I pray.

First I pray for all the ones for whom I have not prayed before
and then I thank the Lord, my God, for things He has in store
Next I thank Him for all the blessing He’s provided for my friends
And for all the things that are still to be, I save until the end

Never a name or reason, or who requested that I pray
Is ever deleted from my book, it is written there to stay
It takes a while to fill a book, but when it does occur
I put it in a little box that I, when I pray to Him, refer.
