Wrapped in a flag came his remains

The widow's tears flew as if it rained

His little children oblivious of the void they gained

The Widow's profound sorrow behind her patient and heroic face

 

She got a mucky letter from his pocket

He wrote " I am sorry my love if I don't make it back!

Sacrifice, is all that unique we have

Our children must proud on us in case you never see my face back.

 

I never want us to seperate this way

I definitely didn't marry you,for you to face this fate.

My onus to my country asks for lot

But my wishes to be with you in comparision are as small as a dot

Yes i said I would never leave you all

But never mentioned one day I won't be back at all."

She said as she stood by his mortal remains.

"Your sacrifice and love for the nation makes me insane.

There was still so much to be said still so much to do

You promised me of the day our hair turns grey

You can't just give up in middle of the way."

The bullet surely went through his heart

But pierced every inch of her heart.

The author's comments:

The poem is tribute to a soldier's family and his wife.

It's a tribute to her agony surfaced due to the loss of her better half, her all promises, plans etc for life shatter just in a moment when her husband dies.
