Those That Work Till Midnight

there are those that work till midnight
even beyond it
when all are asleep and busy with their dreams
when all the lights of the houses and even the streets
are turned off

there are those who cannot sleep and make their
nights days
there are those who know what their mission in life is
not counting the hours
not minding the sacrifices
like a candle they burn both ends

there are those who die earlier than expected
these are those who do not complain and
not say a word
for what they have done

they give all that they have and that is what only matters
they do not even care if the world remembers

you read this poem and it is 11: 24 in the evening
in this silent hour, you are one of them,
i salute you, my dear friend and companion.
