A Prayer for Joe Anzack's Parents
Posted: June 3, 2007
Memorial Day observances contuinue…
A parent's worst nightmare.
A proud soldier son
is ambushed and missing.
Not much can be done.
The Army goes searching
with little to say
while Joe Anzack's parents
both worry and pray.
And then it's reported,
he's missing no more.
A body's found floating.
A victim of war.
O God, grace Joe's family
who ache to know why?
Why freedom's so costly?
Why others must die?
Why sometimes You answer?
Why sometimes You're still?
And why faith is needed to
trust in Your will?
