John S. Garrison

WE WERE NOT ALONE

Even in the darkest night, in jungles far away,
or in the sandbagged hoochs, where safer places lay.
We were not alone!
On mountain trails or paddy dikes, we walked on day to day,
and blood was shed and friends were lost, in most horridness ways.
But, we were not alone!
You cannot walk a jungle trail with nothing in your soul;
it’s like the kid who only knows of candy that he stole.
An empty place where God will live, a heart has just been sold.
And all at once you realize, from Bible stories told.
That we were never alone!
That the Lord had never let go!
