God,
forgive me.
It
could have been a command.
He had not lived a bad life.
No worst than most.
And he had done a few really good things --
like
leaving school early to fight for his country after
9/11.
He did two tours in Iraq with no
incident.
And now on his
third tour in the Middle East, while not Unbreakable his
combat record indicated he was pretty close.
That changed a moment ago, before he
knew how quickly it could be over.
God,
forgive me is all he knew.
He knew there was one. That He was
watching, and had been watching
all his life; he never doubted that God
existed.
He also knew there
could only be one.
And he
understood that He was forgiving.
So, for what he had done wrong or
done badly, he asked god for forgiveness.
