He did not know the Man he watched,
When told he did not ask why.
He watched the hero in solemn silence,
As quiet as the minutes that ticked by.

 

He knew not of his family,
Nor from whence he came.
His sole duty was to honor the hero,
Though only God knew his name.

 

His relief arrived, a new watch started,
He left the hero where he lies.
A tear held back in united strength,
With those that have to die.

 

They do not know the ones they watch,
When told, they never ask why.
They watch their heroes in solemn silence, As quiet as the minutes that tick by.
