Warrior - Poem

I wrote the following poem for my son, when he was preparing to report for duty in the Navy.

Warrior -

Remember – Son of God

    You enlisted in God’s navy

    Long before man’s

    Committing to defend

    His gospel plan

Shrink not when challenged

    Gain other’s respect

    Strengthened against enemy

    Truth’s emissary

    Answering Mormon curiosity

Dual military mission

    Requiring life’s sacrifice

    Clothe in God’s armor

    Exercise Priesthood power

    Chosen heaven warrior

Through flames of fire

    God defends those

    Who fight His battles

    Surrounding and protecting

    With legions of angels
