A Soldier

How dashing I looked when I gazed to the mirror

Cap on my head with badges on my shoulder.

Name on the chest posing with my gun

First day on my duty this is how I did fun.

Assuring my wife that I’ll be back

Promising my new born daughter to bring truck of toys’ pack.

Blessed by neighbours with my dad and mom

Unknown of the fact when I’ll be back to my home.

Unknown of the fact of my life

Unknown of the place to survive.

But extra happiness for serving my nation

At cost of my life fighting with full aggression.

I know everyone will cry on my death

Cursing the one who took away my breath.

But then my eyes will be closed

And lips will be shut.

Uniform on my body

But breath had been cut.

My friends will miss me of what time we had

But my ears will search for the voice of my lil princess

Calling me “DAD”.

A mother will lose her son,

A wife will lose her husband.

A sister will lose her brother,

And a nation will lose a soldier.
