A Life Of A Soldier! Poem by Ramesh T A

A soldier sacrifices his life in the security of the nation ever;
Encounters enemy face to face at the cross border of nations!
Life or death, he does his duty with a brave heart to protect
People of a nation from destruction by enemy day and night!

Till one retires from service, there is no rest for a soldier ever;
He responds to call of duty obeying army orders at anytime!
Unmindful of any convenience, he works in company or in
Isolation at the top of mountains of the world or on deep sea!

Against hottest weather of desert as well as severest cold of hills
A soldier is ever steadfast and alert in his duty to prevent all
Kinds of infiltration at the cross-border areas of the nation sure;
Which is a severest test of human endurance he boldly bears!

Surely the life of a soldier is unknown contrary to politicians,
Sports persons, movie men and social activists whether in duty
Or in retirement after duty till the end concerned only with the
Security of the nation sans expecting any benefits unlike others!
