A Soldier's poem: dedicated to INDIAN ARMY

If I die in a war zone,

Box me up and send me home..

Put my medals on my chest,

Tell my mum I did my best

Tell my dad not to bow,

He won't get tension from me now

Tell my brother to study perfectly,

Keys of my bike will be his permanently..

Tell my sister not to be upset,

Her bro will not raise after the sunset

And tell my love not to cry,

Cause I'm a soldier, born to die..
