Can a common man appraise a warrior’s courage?
For them it might be the number of missions accomplished
Or the number of bruises and bullets he had while fighting for his country men.
Can a common man appraise a warrior’s esteem?
For them it might be the number of medals on his precious uniform
Or the number of people he evacuated from the floods and storms.
Can a common man appraise a warrior’s sacrifice?
For them it might be the number of beloved people he has left behind
Or the number of years he spent sweating and struggling for our peace of mind.
But the reality is that these things can’t be appraised.
As courage, esteem and sacrifice,
Are a part of his daily life.
