Soldierly Soul Poem by RAJAT GHOSH

One day when I will be here
To hold your hand, my dear,
Let everybody then hear
A love song of perfect pair.
Everybody'll bless bride-groom
And flowers'll cover the room.
And then a call may come
To resume my duty firm.
Soldier's soul is within me
For Thou I can leave thee.
The hand is ready to touch
The heavy rifle without grouch.
Before I kiss your lovely head
A bullet may make me fade.
Again I'll be here, in this place
For you to kiss covered cold face.
More than everybody'll be here
To bless you with eye drops dear.
There'll be no song certain I am,
Will the gun salute act as a balm?
