The horror of war
begins the moment
a soldier leaves home.

On a mission as ‘I embark’;
still with you as ‘we part’.

Walk of duty,
sacrificing it all,
leaving a promise of return.

Tearing me apart
to leave.

Crippled by obligations.

When a soldier goes to war
they will always leave
a part of themselves behind.

I leave in body,
but shall stay with you
in spirit.

My feet are planted
in the foundation of my family,
but my country calls
for their protection.

I leave for the motherland.
Leaving a part of me
in your hand.

You can keep that piece of me
until I return home.

Love and duty make goodbyes
devastatingly sad.

It bleeds for a soldier
to leave his family behind
for all uncertainties
of a call of duty.

Every soldier
leaves his roots at home;
while fighting for love in his heart.

PTSD. Pieces or trauma
soldiers leave behind
in the name of duty.

The bravest heroes of all time
is the family
you left in tears behind.

Sacrifice on one side
leads to the safety of other.

I bid my family adieu
leaving behind my feet
to dedicate my life
to my country on the war front.

Simply sacrifice.
Fighting for one’s country
is the bravest sacrifice of all,
but in doing so,
the biggest sacrifice is
leaving one’s family.

A tragic balance of sacrifice
between love for the family
and love for the nation.

We’re (family) living
with the presence
of your footprints.
