Soldier In Coffin Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Soldier in coffin
Sunday,12th Dec 2021
The country feels proud
and speaks loud
when the question comes before
the death of a soldier makes us feel sore
we are safe at home
and welcome
whenever soldiers bring glory
and raise the name of the country
mether earth shed tears
when the son of soil departs forever
the death of a brave soldier tears her apart
and invites all to initiate a fresh start
the grim clouds descended on a fateful day
when the news of the helicopter crash swayed the national sentiments
those moments were very critical for the entire country
the news brought in grave shock and all the eyes became teary
no words were sufficient
to fill at that moment
the country was in great shock
and the grief had also ran out of the stock
let us pay great homage
for all those who have shown on history pages
their loss to the country was immense
the atmosphere was calm but was surcharged
The country shall always remember their sacrifices
but stand with the promises and assurance
that there won't be a repeat of such occurrences
and take the precautionary measures
with tears eyes, we have paid our regards
and assure them with words
that their sacrifice shall remain at our hearts
and form a sacrificial spirit
