   Stand With The Warriors...

In a very distant and most sacred place,
       where once we lived without shame or disgrace,
where we stood among our Fathers best,
       waiting to come to earth to begin a warriors test.

We were soldiers, leaving for the battlefront,
       with the dream we’d stave the battles brunt.
Each believing they’d return as heroic men.
       That’s what we all thought way back then.

Now, as war wages on, many have given way
       and yet even more have quit or gone astray.
They’re losing sight of their covenants once made.
       While some try to blend in, others are afraid.

Even more become fooled by what they see,
       trading worldly treasure for a soldier’s victory.
If they don’t turn back, they’ll never more stand
       with the greatest soldiers in the Lord’s command.

If only Father’s memory wouldn’t drift from their sight,
       then no matter the battle, they’d never lose a fight.
And if they’d think of life here as a mere sky-scrapers foyer,
       they’d see to fight, return and stand with the warriors.

   "And when he had said these words, the Spirit of the Lord was upon him,
   and he said; ...ye have entered into a covenant to serve him..." Mosiah 18:13

       Officer Samuel Jeppsen #3751, (Ret) R# 140, October 2002-d   www.LDSCOPS.com
