Be it night or dawn
they stand strong,
protecting us from
that is wrong.
Leaving behind the
earthly desires,
they’re the brave ones
who guard the barbed wires.
The sun arrives with
an urge to survive,
to live another day and
see their family while alive.
The gun on their shoulder
weigh a zillion pounds.
Without a flinch they lift it
high to break all bounds.
Staring in the face of death
they sleep,
Unsure what secret the next
day may keep.
Naïve are the ones who ask
if they not have a heart.
For they are ones with
the bravest lionheart.

I usually quote the bestest lines in the comment’s section! Can I quote the whole poem in the comment? Because every line was so beautifully written and expressed that it was a pleasure to my eyes.
Sleeping while staring at the face of Death, how could you? It’s amazing!!!!!
Looks like there’s a lot of stuff I cam learn from you!
Stay blessed Bhai! 🙂
Thank you so very much, bhai! This was very deep. :’)❤and yes there’s always something or the other we can learn from everyone.
You know that’s why I follow back everyone who follows me because I too believe in this that “not one has everything to say, but everyone has something to say”
Looks like my luck as good that I found you, hahaha.
Hahah yes! That’s indeeed, true!✌
Good night to you, have an energetic Monday. 😛
I do that too Ash Ji..and I managed to quote my favourite!!
That made me very emotional. I can’t believe one can portray their altruistic and harsh life with a heartwarming, meaningful poem that even rhymes. Just amazing ☺☺
Yes, our forces deserve all the respect and love for their selfless sacrifices.
You too, poetic soul☺
“Staring in the face of death
they sleep,
Unsure what secret the next
day may keep.” The rhymes stole my heart. Written beautifully with the perfect choice of words!
Took me 10 minutes to write but a whole month to think of every stanza. Poems are so weirdly fascinating! Especially when they rhyme 😛 thanks isn’t enough to show my gratitude, rhyme bud. Still thanks a lot ^-^
Haha I know that exact feeling when you’ve got all the pieces and words for the poem but that struggle to put it all together!
It all falls in place in my mind at like 2 or 3 am when I’m trying very hard to sleep!
Haha, Past midnight is the best time for the writer/poet in us to get wide awake.
Great post. https://getreblog.wordpress.com/
