On Wings of Blue
The Prayer
Dear Lord,
In the battle that goes on through Life,
I ask but a field that is fair,
A chance that is equal with all in the strife,
And courage to strive and to dare;
If I should win, let it be by the code,
With my faith and my honor held high;
And if I should lose, let me stand by the road,
And cheer, as the winner goes by…
