DEDICATION: THE SOLDIERS OF OUR NATION

Hello readers, I hope you are all staying safe and at home during this COVID-19 times. This is a poem I wrote in dedication to the struggles of our country's heroes in uniform. from south to north east to west they protects us. They are the reason we are able to sleep well at night. GOD BLESS THE NIGERIAN ARMY, SALUTE!!!





THE SOLDIERS OF FREEDOM

They lived serving our nation,

in a place far away.

They gave their lives for our freedom

They loved their country more than life.

and always did what was right.

To protect their country.



Next time you see a soldier,

don’t just pass them by.

Thank them for his effort.                                                                                                                         

He might be next to face death.



How mighty the price we pay for freedom

How brave those who fight,

Guide them God, so they may

Safely return home again.

  (YUSUF NASIR ZAHRADEEN)
