Silent Heroes

Whispers of the fallen, echoes through the night

Stories left unspoken, shadows fading light

Young boys in the darkness, dreams and fears collide

Training hearts and spirits, with nowhere left to hide

They march into the storm, hoping for the dawn

Leaving homes behind, till all that's left is gone

Tales of sacrifice, carved into their soul

Hidden scars and truths, no one ever told

We don’t see the battles they fight alone

Broken smiles behind the brave and strong

For the freedom we hold, their stories unfold

In the silent tears, their courage is shown

Rugged men returning, broken in their glance

Living with memories, caught in a dazed trance

Sometimes bitter, sometimes scarred for life

Carrying burdens, amid the ache and strife

Echoes of the past, etched in every face

Moments of despair, lost in time and space

We don’t see the battles they fight alone

Broken smiles behind the brave and strong

For the freedom we hold, their stories unfold

In the silent tears, their courage is shown

Respect the silence, honor what is lost

Countless sacrifices, no matter what the cost

They gave their youth, they paid the price

To keep us safe, to pay the vice

So next time we take a stand, remember where they’ve been

Brave hearts and sturdy hands, behind every win

Their stories never fade, echo through the years

We thank the silent heroes, overcoming fears
