A Pilot’s Prayer

Almighty and all present power, Short is the prayer I make to thee; I do not ask in battle hour

For any shield to cover me.

The vast unalterable way

From which the stars do not depart, May not be turned aside to stay The bullet flying to my heart.

I ask no help to strike my foe, I seek no petty victory here; The Enemy I hate, I know To Thee is dear

But this I pray be at my side,

When death is drawing through the sky; Almighty Lord who also died

Teach me the way that I should die.

F/O E.R. Davey, London, Ont., R.C.A.F. pilot K.I.A.
