THE BRAVE SOLDIER


SALUTING ALL THE SOLDIERS OF THE WORLD....

There was a stern look in his eyes
His shirt was torn and his chest bare
Fire of war was raining from the skies
Yet nothing was capable of giving him a scare
He has seen a secret enemy camp
To his regiment which was danger
His mission was to destroy it
All alone went forward the brave soldier
He crept slowly like a cat
In midst of enemy he threw a grenade
Before their eyes anyone could bat
The way clear for his regiment he made
But yet, a wounded soldier survived
As a patriot he too had to play his part
For revenge his heart too thrived
And with great struggle he put a bullet through the brave heart
The soldier died his mind at peace
For now he had completed his mission
“Freedom for my country” was the last words of his
From his heart flew less blood and more patriotism
Uncared and unknown … the soldiers died
For protecting the freedom of their nation
Losing her best treasure their motherland cried
For a patriotic heart is God’s best creation.

2/11/1984

I was inspired a lot by stories of brave soldiers in my childhood. India has had her wars and this was my tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives back then …. Thought of sharing it with everyone on the veterans day.

  1. Very moving, especially in these times! Young peoples lives are ruined because of the horrors of war, that achieve nothing in the end.
    What a senseless waste of time and finances! When will they ever learn?

  2. Lovely, and sad. For all those lost and those still engaged, hope that their fight had/has purpose.
    God Bless them.

  3. Thank you Alice and BM, I totally agree with what you say. War begets more violence and the present world situation is so scary. People are turning more and more fanatic and I really feel so sorry for the innocent lives lost in the turmoil....
    As for the question when will they learn? May be never. History tends to repeat itself. But the present situation is worse than any gory history of the past.
