SAFE HAVEN

“Some human beings are safe havens.” Rumi

in the midst of chaos
you work unselfishly
fighting an unseen enemy
you answer the call of duty
leaving loved ones behind
you headed to a battlefield
armed with heroic dedication
your courage is now our shield

you’re a safe haven
but we've to do our share
your task will be a lot easier
if we show how much we care

hope is what you bring
your presence an inspiring sight
in a nation divided and scared
you fortify our will to fight
it will never be an easy task
since you’ve to pay the price
sometimes in your line of work
you make the ultimate sacrifice

you’re a safe haven
but we've to do our share
your task will be a lot easier
if we show how much we care

words are not simply enough
to show how thankful we are
keeping us out of harm’s way
you’re going deep into this war
you won’t give up this fight
until your noble work is done
our prayers are with you
this battle can still be won
