Dear soldier,
I am reminded of a quote when I think of you, which goes – “A true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
There is discipline in a soldier, you can see it when he walks,
There is honour in a soldier, you hear it when he talks.
There is courage in a soldier, you can see it in his eyes,
There is loyalty in a soldier that he will not compromise.
There is something in a soldier that makes him stand apart,
There is strength in a soldier that beats from his heart.
A soldier's job isn't finished after an eight-hour day or a 40-hour week,
A soldier is always a soldier, even while he sleeps.
A soldier serves his country first and his life is left behind,
A soldier has to sacrifice what comes first in a civilian's mind.
