Today Is To You
*TODAY TO YOU*
To those who agree to lay their lives for the sake of the living
To those that battle death to live
To those that smile to us in the open but pray in the night to see the next day.
To those that love their families but have to stand at the gate to ward off the enemies.
To those that show love by mounting boarders far away.
To this that hide under the green leaves to bring down the evil
To those that pull the trigger to save lives
To the night watch that make us sleep sound
To those whose sleepless nights give us hope of another day as a free man
To you whose tears are blurred by the thick threes
To those silenced to keep our voices alive
To those on the queue to lay their lives for us
To you, you and you
To you we pray you live for us that we may live.
( ON THE OCCASION OF THE NIGERIAN ARMED FORCES REMEMBRANCE DAY)
