I would like to share a poem here...

It is written by MAJOR GENERAL IAN CARDOZO...

THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

I am the unknown soldier, forgotten and ignored;

When once the war is over, and peace and quiet assured.

We fought for you and country, and now that we are dead,

We rest in quiet exclusion 'cause nothing more is said

Of how we did our duty, that you may rest in peace,

When once the foe was vanquished and the strife of war had ceased.

The country called upon us to do what needs to be done,

To oust the viscious enemy and ensure the war was won.

Our near and dear ones blessed us and sent us full of pride

To defend our country's honour, and some were new wed brides.

We went and fought your battles, most of which we won,

Some never came back, all were mother's sons.

Our bodies do lie there, on hill and vale and plain,

Exposed to all the elements of snow and ice and rain...

So many were so anxious, some still do wait in vain,

What can you do to lessen our loved ones' grief and pain?

Our last rites were not given, we died a soldier's death,

Our eldest sons kept waiting, their hopes could not be met...

We went and did our duty, we do not ask for much,

Only a piece of honour, our loved ones' heart to touch;

A place where they can think of happy days gone by,

To pray on the lonesome morrow, and if need be stand and cry...

Although we have left earth's orbit and need to rest in peace,

Our souls are not past caring, our pain will never cease,

Till you and the country's leaders create a haloed space

For a fitting war memorial, on valour and honour based!!!

frnds we all have lots of problems in our life

hum roz hansne ke bahane dhundte hai😳

here's few lines from my collection for all...

'Ek nayi surat bachi hai aazmaakar dekhiye

dushmanon ko v kabhi dil se laga kar dekhiye

chhodiye rangeen chasme ko chadhana aankh per

zindgi ki rangaton ko paas ja ker dekhiye

roz khush rahne me yaaron kuchh maza aata nahi

baat to tab hai ki thode gham v khaakar dekhiye

kal badi maasoomiyat se aaine ne ye kaha

ho sake to aaj mujhko muskura ker dekhiye

khushbuon ke kaafile jaaenge khud hi door tak

saath phulon ke kabhi to khil khilaker dekhiye..
