Dear Soldier

Dear Soldier

Let's me be honest with you

As much as we respect and love you

We don't think of you in our daily lives

We are busy fighting our so-called demons


That we fail to recognise your dedication

Other than during a few national occasions and news

We pretty much go on with our lives


Though we are exceedingly grateful to you

We never really say or appreciate it aloud

But you don't care or worry about it

You do not protect us for awards and accolades

You do it out of your sense of responsibility

You do it because of your wholehearted love for your country


You silently do your job without so much noise

You are the reason we walk freely on the streets

You are the reason we go on with our lives

We might not express it well enough

But we feel safe because of you


We might not think of you every day

But when we do

You fill our hearts with attention and devotion


We don't know your names and faces

But you are a father, brother and a guardian

All rolled into one

Silently protecting us, with no expectation
