Our Millitary Boys Poem by Enitan Onikoyi

Up and down the Island of ours,
The boys have come to answer the call.
The Queen and country have summoned them,
To go to war for the nation's sake.
To keep our nation one, is a task that must be done,
Onward, they all matched to war.

Facing the enemies unknown,
Locking round to strike a blow.
But our boys wiped them off,
Before they could strike the blow.
Saving us from the clutch of death.
Our Military boys are heroes indeed.

When you see our Military boys,
Remember them as heroes of war.
Saving us from the hands of foes,
Going to war to give their all.
They sweat and shed their blood for us,
Liberating us from enemies hands.

They went to war, they fought for us,
Bleeding from heads to toes.
On battle fields they sometimes fall,
To set us free and restore our pride
Bearing the burden of everyone.
Our Military boys, our heroes they are.

They bled and sweat for us to live,
Living in trenches day and night.
Their food is barely enough for them,
The taste is nothing to talk about
Far away from mother land,
They bear the pains while matching on.

The scars of war they carry for live,
Physical scars and mental scars.
Dreaming of wars for many years,
Sweating and dripping each time they sleep,
The pains of war is hard to shake,
Our Military boys, our strength and hope.

To those that gallantly fell,
In battlefields around the world,
Fighting to give freedom to all.
I thank you all for the lives you gave.
Your sweat and blood shall never be in vain.
Our heroes you are, our heroes shall ever be.

'At the rise and the going down of sun, '
And when we look at the twinkling stars,
We shall remember your gallant acts.
Rest in peace the angels of God,
Till we'll meet to part no more,
And the Lord, your redeemers be.
