Oh Ignorant Child

Today is Navy Day. While I am proud of our country’s defence forces and the men and women serving them, I read the comments of a post today where a few people wrote such things about the Navy that really saddened me. I salute you people for what you do and this is my contribution, a little poem in your honour.

Oh Ignorant Child

Proud I am, and you are not,

Brave I am and you may not.

You can be that, which I ever won’t,

You can hate but I can do that not.

U can leave but I Stand still

to protect the country on my own will.

You dishonour, you disrespect,

but an ignorant child you are I suspect!

It’s alright you know, I don’t mind,

no words, no offence can put me behind,

Because for me duty comes first,

I put myself at the last.

I swore that I will protect you always,

even if you are the ill-tempered case!

You know a parent won’t ever abandon,

the child you are, I will always pardon.

I stand infront of you guarding,

the enemies who threaten, I will be discarding.

Fear not my child, but do understand,

I will protect you, take you to safety, hold your hand.

The pain is all I don’t want to feel,

when you sometimes despise me at will.

I will be there I will be there,

don’t worry my child, for your protection for your care.

All I ask is not money not fame,

for me it will only be a fair game,

When you give me something I ask you for today

Only Respect, if you may!
