Plus - Letters to the editor

To a soldier at the warfront

Once you held a gun
Pointed at the enemy;
Today you hold a child
Who has come to you running –
From this enemy;
Your face is lit up
With love
And compassion;
Confidence has replaced hate.
Watching you, soldier,
I see hope
For all humanity.

Punyakante Wijenaike
