True Service

The path may seem dark and blurry

The wheel of time moves sluggishly.

Strength drained; spirit empty

That's how you feel today.

Look yonder what the eyes could see

A flicker of light impending your way

For the service of humanity

Man, continue striding your way.

Victory may not come so easy

Sleepless nights, days so weary

Tired and unrewarded, you may be

In this journey, God may be your company.

Do not let malicious trials defeat you

Nor endless battles weaken you

A warrior spirit resides in you

Faith, courage and hope define you.

When doubts creep in

And joy visits no more often

Reminisce the oath you took.

In the name of service, you promised.

Duty first, before anything else.

If ever you need ears to listen

Senseless stories they may seem

I shall be with you for infinity,

And pray for you incessantly.
