Help me write what I need to write, for my nephew, in the Army. He's going over to Iraq, anytime between now and October.

He's 19, he's into motocross, he's into his family, he's shy but he's learned a lot, this past year.

He likes tattoos, he has several, and I sat by his side while he got his biggest one. I'd just met him, one day before. I sat with him, and got to know him, as he went through the pain of having a poem written onto his left ribs.

He looks a lot like my dad at that age. My dad, who would be my nephew's grandfather, if he'd stayed alive.

I want my nephew to stay alive.

So help me write a prayer, that will keep my nephew strong while he's in Iraq, and all of 19 years old.

    I am tired; my heart is
