A Tribute To Soldiers Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Lofty glory be to the soldiers
Who committedly protect the land -
It's people and the line of culture,
Of the time-run, running and future,
Woods, rivers, fields and stretch of sand;
The sure and unique armed purgers
Of all evils and wanton attacks filthy,
Besides averting all entrance stealthy.


Like a feeble child safe and sure
Of its parent in close proximity,
The nation's wholesome entity prime
Has a secure and complacent clime;
Like immunity guarding until extremity,
You defend, and do calamities endure;
Steady then be your task intrepid...
Success be ever at your brave bid.


Armoured with courage and confidence,
In blizzard, showers or landslides any
Rescuing victims, selflessly run the risk;
With infinite vigour do always feats brisk -
Save, set, move and such a great many,
Truly is manifest, reliance and defence;
Words fall short and render feelings mute
Hence: a formal, alert honour-salute..!
