                          Geronimo Prayer Written by Chaplain Danny Presswood, 1991. Heavenly father, hear my call, For through the sky I will soon fall. Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door, I pray for your will, nothing less, nothing more. One thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four... My canopy fill 'fore I count any more. Give me courage, in the midst of my fear, to enjoy your world's beauty from way up here. From jumpers and obstacles float me clear, and safely to the drop zone help me steer. Feet 'n knees together, preparing myself to land, never more aware that I'm secure within your hand. Guide and help me lord, as I get quickly to my feet, to conquer every obstacle 'til the mission is complete. In our Lord's name I shall forever pray, 'cause I'm "AIRBORNE" and "PRAYER BORNE" GERONIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! AMEN

                          O Loving God, Creator and Sustainer of Life, I am grateful that you have permitted me to live in the autumn of life, I remember when I was one of the young, the strong and the brave. Even then you were the winds beneath our wings. You were the medicine for our fears. Do for me now, O God, what I cannot do for myself. When sickness and pain come as an unwelcome guest to me, or someone I love or the skies turn gray because I can't do everything I once did; or sorrow knocks at my door; or taps are sounded for a loved one; or an old trooper friend; or when I grow impatient and discouraged with myself, and the world, then O God... Save me from the inertia or futility. Remind me how you answered my prayers in combat, when I was alone and afraid. Grant that my trust may not walk on weak knees. Give me the Power of your spirit that I may be strong again. Put a friendly guard detail around my loneliness, reminding me that there are loyal friends and Airborne buddies, near and far, who still remember and care. Give me the Faith to love one day at a time. Create in an unfaltering faith in you as an unfailing God.And Grant me the Divine Light to see beyond the present, no matter how dark it may be, and into the Great Forever. For Yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory. And I am Yours. In Your Holy Name. AMEN Soldiers Prayer Written for the 11th Airborne 1991 reunion.
