The Secret of Life

Take time to Think.
It is the source of Power.
Take time to Play.
It is the secret to perpetual Youth.
Take time to be Friendly.
It is the road to Happiness.
Take time to Work.
It is the price of Success.
Take time to Pray.
It is the greatest power on Earth.
Take time to Love and be Loved.
It is the way of God.

UNITED IN PRAYER
Lord, give me the greatness, and pureness of heart
That I might easily see
The difference between duty to God and Country
And my soldier's love for me

Give me extra understanding Lord
So that deep inside I'll know
When duty calls, no matter when
My soldier will pack and go

Give me tasks I pray oh Lord
That I must do each day
To help those souls less fortunate
And pass time while my soldier's away

Whether duty is on our Homeland soil
Or in a foreign land
Keep my soldier safe and warm
And in Your loving hand

And if by chance Lord
Duty requires my soldier be in the field
Please keep the angels close at hand
To be a protective shield

And lastly Lord its patience I need
When deployment becomes quite long
Please comfort me by being there
So for my soldier I will be strong

Give me the knowledge that through my faith
We'll be together again
Spending all eternity
As partners, lovers and friends
