Poem by Francis Nova
#ThankAsoldier;Salute to My Hero.
I hail thee soldier,
I hail thee most sincerely
For thy gallant deeds.
Or what man so true in kindness
Gives his life,so dear,
As a shield of love for his country;
A messiah or a hero?
From the wake of time,
You gave your life for mine;
You kept a wakeful eye
Against the awry hands of terror
And save my soul from being drawn
In the gory images of horror.
Your loyalty to thy father’s folk
Is so great like the aged Everest;
Even when you are battered
By the enemy’s bullet,
Your words remain sacred,
Even when these unscrupulous sycophants
Erred in their oaths,
You kept yours
I hail thee truly
For ye hath done great deeds.
Thus I give thee my verdict;
I will keep thy name
In the house of time;
A place so remarkable and fresh,
The world unborn
Shall pour thee sweet encomium
And they shall sing thy praises
To the dusk of tomorrow.
Thank you my beloveth hero!
Thank you my loyal guard!
Thank you my gallant soldier!
