Do NOT FALL ASLEEP

Dear Solider
You’re noble and filled with courage
To carry your life in a rifle
Uncertain of seeing the sun smile
At your pale and rough face
Before you join the legends of stars.

I heard you love your country flag
That whenever you sight her colors
Goosebumps soak your skin,
With cold freezing your spine.
That love made you sign a pact,
With your blood as ink.

I heard your eyes are always red,
Like someone who ganja helps,
‘Cause you march gallantly day and night,
Without giving peace to your eyes,
To save the flag you so dearly love
And the people who barely know your name.

I heard you’re surrounded by graves,
That the snow of age might not dye your hair.
That you unselfishly left your loving family,
For the love of your country,
Without thinking about falling,
Nor sleeping eternally.

I heard you barely smile,
‘Cause you’ve seen many horrors,
And endured countless tortures.
That you’re colored with wounds & scars
And clothed with stitches of heavy pains
Yet you did not comprise your loyalty.

I ink these words with love,
Respect, admiration and appreciation,
Thanking you for what you do,
You’re strong and valiant,
For us live one more day,
Do not fall asleep,
I LOVE YOU SOLIDER
