The Salute

For the Almighty Army... Watch the video at the YouTube channel - TSB Worldwide. 7th poem from my book, DSS-The Enigma.

Some men, very attentive, can be seen,
far on the border, across the sands.
They keep their eyes open all the time
and ensure our safety with their sinewy hands.

For their life, there is no insurance,
is there anyone to ask, who are they?
The place where they stand, there is no safety,
is there anyone to ask, how are they?

It’s all about their invincible will and brawny arms,
they fight as strong as they can.
I’ve seen one of them, fighting,
they seem to me like immortals, not men.

They lose their lives,
to let us live.
They are the mighty soldiers, to whom,
I have ‘Salute’ as the only thing to give.

any soldier who fights for his or her country should be saluted...even when the cause isn't one we all agree with. They are doing their loyal duty, fulfilling their obligation to try to keep country's safe...
we may not like those who put them in that situation, but we must respect that their lives are on the line every day.

At first I thought of our local Mountain Rescue Teams > or Lifeboat men

Across the sands > Locally there is a crossing across the sands and a river >> with quick sands Only one man has a license as a guide
Perhaps firemen, police

Yes Yes soldiers: air men: sailors> All work as you say with danger

to keep us safe Flying at 250 ft >> or even 50ft At high speed (350 mph)

On patrol 12 hours flying searching for ships in distress scanning the oceans
Helicopters (SAR) searcing amongst the mountains rotors inches from cliff faces to winch down a paramedic

Sorry got carried away
