He is amazing. His eyes gleam as he
breathes my breaths.
The work he does can be seen on his
face.
Each pearly breakout stems from the
hardships
he faces for us, for my family. Each
scar,
a memento of a battle with himself; stuck
between
presence and protection of the ones
he loves.
The dirt and grime of the forests he
crawls and eats
and sleeps does not compare to the fondness
of
her heart back home. Neither injuries
nor hurt can compare
with the lost cheers of the boy’s
first goal or the absence
of the small one’s first words.
The badges and awards tells of the
tough decisions
made in the field but the white gold
he proudly bears on
his face reads the hardest one yet.
He is Man. Strong. Resilient. Admired.
Protector.
Almost impenetrable but the dots on
that smile of re-unity,
they are the gateway to his soul.
