Combat chaplain

I’m a combat chaplain I can’t complain
I’ve seen my fellow soldiers die in combat
And live with service connected pain

I was there on DDAY 
With the rest giving
 final rites to soldiers 
Before they passed

I carry no weapon
Not a side arm will be found
My armor is my strength in the lord
On the battlefield i too will be found 

I’ve given my life In service 
My commitment to service before self  is intact
If you should ask me why I do it
I will tell you the lord and I have a pact 

I’m there in the moment of battle 
And when the battle is done
I’m there to give comfort and aid 
When the journey of overcoming battlefield horror has begun 

Yes I’m a combat chaplain
In times of war and peace
Duty honor and commitment
