Prayer

[paraphrase of WWII prayer]

Dear Lord,
please help me to remember
that somewhere out there
a man died for me today.
As long as there be war,
I must ask each day,
"Am I worth dying for?".
"Are my humble efforts
worthy of another's sacrifice?"
"Do I cherish what's been given
to me by my neighbor's blood?"
I pray that I may always be able
to answer gratefully and affirmatively.
