We both left home at
18.
You cleared JAMB
I got recommended.
You got UNILAG,
I got NDA.
You pursued your
degree,
I had the toughest
training.
Your day started at 7
and ended at 5,
Mine started at 4 till 9
and
Some nights also
included.
You had your
convocation ceremony,
I had my POP.
Best company took you
and
Best package was
awarded,
I was ordered to join
my platoon
With 2 stars piped on
my shoulders.
You got a job,
I got a way of life.
Every eve you got to
see your family,
I just wished i got to
see my parents soon.
You celebrated festivals
with lights and music,
I celebrated with my
comrade in bunkers.
We both married,
Your wife got to see
you everyday,
My wife just wished i
was alive.
You were sent to
business trips,
I was sent on line of
control.
We both returned,
Both wives couldn't
control their tears, but
You wiped her but,
I couldn't.
You hugged her but,
I couldn't.
Because I was lying in
the coffin,
With medals on my
chest and,
Coffin wrapped with
tricolour.
My way of life ended,
Yours continued.
We both left home at
18.
I dedicate this to every
soldier and uniform
person out there, we
don't understand what
you do and the
sacrifices you make,
but know that we are
eternally grateful!
