Resolute Integrity
Take faith away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but
do not take from me your trust.
Do not take away the beacon,
the guiding light that you hold,
the conviction that suddenly
bursts forth in honor,
the unwavering resolve
of silver found in you.
My duty is demanding, and I return
with eyes weary
at times from having seen
the unyielding path,
but when your trust is given
it soars to great heights, guiding me,
and it unlocks for me all
the doors of integrity.
My commitment, in the darkest
hour your trust
shines, and if suddenly
you see my dedication etched
in the tasks of our mission,
trust, because your faith
will be for my actions
like a steadfast guide.
Next to the challenges in the office,
your trust must be
a steady source of support,
and in the journey of our work, boss,
I want your trust like
the compass I was waiting for,
the unwavering guide, the anchor
of our shared principles.
Trust in the difficulties,
in the victories, in the mission,
trust in the winding
paths of our endeavour,
trust in this dedicated
the officer who serves you,
but when I will fulfill
my duties and complete them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
withhold from me promotion, praise,
recognition, reward,
but never your trust,
for I would stand resolute.
