My life has ever been devoted to her service from my youth up, though never before in a cause like this - a cause for which I would most cheerfully risk and lay down my life.

The impossibility of a retreat makes no difference in the situation of men resolved to conquer or die; and, believe me, my friends, if your conquest could be bought with the blood of your general, he would most cheerfully resign a life which he has long devoted to his country.

Service
Service is rendering assistance,
To persons nigh and in a distance.
Service should be in consistence,
And ever in abiding persistence
For peoples vital subsistence,
And for our peaceful co-existence.
Service constitutes us to be dynamic,
It cleanses the mind, and we are not sick.
Service entails ego annihilation,
And our materialism is in destruction.
Service makes us to give others a benefit,
It brings society to a frame-work knit.
Service allows us to do to others a favour,
Which adds to our life full of flavour.
.
Service endows us with a virtuous life,
And it empowers us to live a larger life.
Service chisels us to beautifully refine,
And it tunes us to be in a haven divine.

Faith is the first factor in a life devoted to service. Without it, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.

From The Portuguese, 'Tu Mi Chamas
In moments to delight devoted,
'My life!' with tenderest tone you cry;
Dear words! on which my heart had doted,
If youth could neither fade nor die.
To death even hours like these must roll,
Ah! then repeat those accents never;
Or change 'my life!' into 'my soul!'
Which, like my love, exists for ever.
----------------------------------
AN OTHER VERSION
You call me still your life.--Oh! change the word--
Life is as transient as the inconstant sigh:
Say rather I'm your soul; more just that name,
For, like the soul, my love can never die.
My Simple Award
I was informed just lately
That I am among those to be called
Who will be rewarded a service pin?
For having served for twenty five years
An accolade for doing public service
Is quite an honor for being recognized
But like five years ago when I did not
Come up to the stage to receive such
For me it is not important
To receive with any award
For what I do is simply my job
To perform what I was trained for
It makes me sad to learn now
After twenty five years of working
I will be called in front of the public
To accept the fact that soon I have to go
Retirement is a bonus phase in life
Forced to give up work for becoming old
Aging marks that sooner one's life will end
My youth used up for service is my sole bliss

Juwita... my girl
"Juwita" meaning my girl
Darling little girl in home as diamond and pearl
I wonder to look at her and feel good
She is tonic for me and energy food
I speak now on behalf of intelligent woman
Employed as an agent and really fighting along man
Totally devoted and fir brand never expected
Life at risk when pressed into service to be acted
She is having undercover name as consultant
Ready to serve for country as an agent
What she has committed in return and got
All ventures made successful and valiantly fought
How long will she continue as fighter woman?
She has lively feeling in her as female
But no she has been trained as male counter part
All the time armed with weapons and ready to depart
I love her dare devil approach and style
She has been influenced by me meanwhile
I try to bring her in my area and poke
She smells rat and refuse to come under smoke
"I cry many times in nights" she adds to clarify
"When all women wear ornaments "I fight
How will I go for any man and satisfy?
As I am in position to justify
My life is at risk and shadowed al the time
All security staff is under scanner sometimes
I fear reprisal if attempt to fall in love
No one may simply trust and believe
I want my normal life
Wants to leas as somebody's wife
Alas! I can't do it for various reasons
As I am placed in category of special persons
I shed no tears now for personal existence
I can bear all agony to self and offer no pretence
It is way of life to be dedicated to the national service
We all owe so much to country and whole heatedly promise
You can see me smiling for ever
But don't try to recover secret forever
As it may cost me life and sometimes life ban
I may be picked up for concentration camp in van
I shall try to human too when time comes
I shall also wish my dream come true
But I got to wait until opportune time comes
As we are considered back bone of the system and gem
I keep smile on face
You won't find regret or any trace
It will be fresh and free from stress
Ever charming and loveable in any case

Never wanna be an adult
Always wanna be in revolt
Youth youth youth

Don't wanna spend my life saving up for things
Don't wanna have what a steady job brings
I don't want security
Don't want responsibility
Don't wanna stay at home not making any noise
I've always got to be out
I've always got to have a choice
I don't want security
Don't want responsibility

I don't want no uniform

Age considers, youth ventures
Age considers, youth ventures
Age visualizes, youth dreams
Age makes theories, youth experiments
Age loves, youth longs
Age sees people, youth sees places
Age knows belongings, youth discovers them
Age pains to gain, youth gains to others' pain
Age has heart, youth has mind
Age is thoughtful, youth is tactful
Age ponders, youth wonders
Age recounts, youth counts
Age is experienced, youth is in experience
Age is cautious, youth dashes
Age floats, youth swims
Age lives, youth still making a living
Age is in touch with termination, youth with determination
Age is confident, youth is competent
Age adds years to living, youth adds life to living
Age is lost in past, youth is drowned in future
Age is grown, youth is crown
Ageless is youth, youthless is age

I'm of the mind that life is a risk, every time you leave your house it's a risk, and I see no reason to go through life with my hands tied behind my back for any reason. I'd be foolish to let something stop me from doing what I love to do.

Hopelessly Devoted To You
(john farrar)
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
Im not the first to know
Theres just no getting over you
You know Im just a fool whos willing
To sit around and wait for you
But, baby, cant you see
Theres nothing else for me to do?
Im hopelessly devoted to you
But now theres nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
Im out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying, fool, forget him.
My heart is saying, dont let go.
Hold on till the end.
And thats what I intend to do
Im hopelessly devoted to you
But now theres nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
Im out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you

Life is Enough
I can not care of life itself enough,
But love is in the air, forever there,
Like balls that roll and keep us anywhere,
We love the being of those balls that bluff.
To see this life as primitive is tough,
For those in life have dusk as one affair,
The end of day, the ends of light and air,
Ask fear, ask danger as a risk so rough.
But life exists at dawn when love is dear,
Love keeps us real and clear, offending now,
As that being collects from risk abroad.
Today the weather has the atmosphere,
As if the Sun crawls forward to allow
Us secrets having wit to be so awed.

But;
Life is not only;
Beauty and ugly...!
Youth and old

Killing fat;
Making youth

Enjoy the life...
