#327 Young Soldier Poem by malini kadir

Ringing in my ears
Is your parting words
Hiding all your fears
Walking briskly to the roads

You turned the corner
Out of my sight
My eyes I blink no sooner
I know you bold fight!

In a world where normally people;
With problems grapple
You too brave grounds trample
Young and defenseless but ample!

My little boy I sigh with pride
You have far to go
With the growing tide
I must your company forgo.....

For cocooned in the warmth of home
No brave warrior was born
Laugh and play you may some
But serious in intent; who I to scorn?
