You too were darlings of your parents

A tribute to our fallen soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice while defending our borders:

You too were darlings of your parents,
But still you decided to defend our borders.

You too had your families to look after,
But still you decided to defend our borders.

Death was omnipresent in your line of duty,
But still you decided to defend our borders.

It was a rare martyrdom which shook our souls,
But still your souls would be proud at our borders.

Millions come and leave this world everyday,
Who cares?

But your memories would be etched in our conscience forever,
And your very thoughts would make our hearts bleed.

For you left your loved ones and us forever,
While defending our borders.
