With tears in my eyes, I penned down this poem as an ode to all martyrs and soldiers.
Facing adversities, soldiers risk their life,
Remember,they too could have stayed back and enjoyed with family and wife.
Family, holidays and pursuits of pleasure sacrificed in a trice,
Nation is in safe hands but at what price.
Cats have nine lives, A soldier has only one,
Beyond the call of duty, that's sacrificed even.
Sometimes he gets a mention depending upon the occasion, Pardon the pun, the deed is done.
The bugle has played the last post, A mother has lost her brave son.
All those in places mighty and high, once in a while, why can't you think it could have been I'?
A soldier has done what he must,Let not his sacrifice go to dust
Nation is safe at a price,
Let's honour the supreme sacrifice.
