When they say good bye to their families, their heart breaks They burst in tears of separation No one would ever understand their emotional pains and feelings They wish they could stay all together, but their job is calling They try hard to be brave, while crying silently in their hearts They feel utterly empty torn between by their loved ones and their job Having a highest call to defend the country With loyalty, respect, personal courage they defend the country Protecting our nation from our enemies living each day with fear of death Whether the weather is dry, sunny, rainy or cold Whether they are in mountains or deserts or on sea They endure lot of trouble to protect their motherland. Where we would dare not to be there in their place They never know what the day will bring For that day could be their last day in their lives They are lonely in the far distant land Away from Motherland away from loved ones While we sleep in our comfortable bedrooms without fear While they sleeps next to their war weapons. Taking cat naps, less sleep or no sleep And are always alert even in their sleep They serve the country and fellow citizens With selfless service, integrity and honor They are the mighty warriors helping us in times of need They Work day and night, giving up their personal time, peace, sleep and desires They miss their families and friends They forget the Everyday Pleasures of a normal life In order to give our country a great care and protection Their wife at home struggles alone to raise their kids Their wives stress out too much to handle the kids' sadness In the midst of their loneliness and stress they comfort their children Worrying about the danger and safety of their husband, the father of their kids. When they go to war, their family also goes to war With them in their heart They sit at home waiting for their return Hoping and praying for their safety. When the world celebrates Christmas They are alone and hurt for they Can't spend the holidays with their family Underneath their smile There is fear of pain, frustrations, tears and loneliness With their patriotic Spirit they are always prepared For Meeting all sorts of dangers and life's challenges Their life's hardships are brutal and cruel For there is no greater sacrifice Then laying down their lives for the sake of their country. Salute to these brave Military who lay down their lives for the country Appreciate them for their bravery and service. For defending homeland from violence and terrorism For defending their motherland with their life and blood Pray for them that they may return home in safety Pray for their families that they are strengthened Be kind and thankful to them for their support Honor them for their service and be Proud of them. God bless each and everyone in our Military! For their sacrifice is too much to count!
