A Twentieth Century Girl Almost Loses Faith
Folder:
A Twentieth Century Girl Series When it was announced today
that war had just begun
you told me that you would sign up
until this war was done
that you would serve your country
and I would stay at home
that you would protect me
on the fields where few return
I begged you not to leave me
not to face death alone
you told me to prey for you
with God to keep me warm
but how can I believe in God
who takes my love away
who kills innocent young men
for the sake of what I say?
but then you held me in your arms
and whispered like the wind
'God will bring me home to you
you must believe in him'
So I will, for you, for ever.
