A soldier can never be known by his profession <br />A brave soldier needs no confession <br />He has no appetite for any season <br />He has to be in battle green with all the reasons <br /> <br />For little emergency his leave is cancelled <br />He is easily way laid and ambushed or killed <br />With his presence there prevails complete lull <br />He is committed for cause and remains truthful <br /> <br />He is living with most dangerous time zone <br />Little carelessness on his part means life is gone <br />They are known as brave sons of the soil <br />Any attempt made by the enemy stands to foil <br /> <br />It is respectful and dedicated service <br />Whole nation pays homage on his demise <br />His sacrifice is mostly taken on high note <br />Any deviation or desertion is taken as black spot <br /> <br />To serve motherland is considered as holy task <br />He may loose his life in powerful blast <br />He is there to serve up to last <br />No doubts can be raised or simply cast <br /> <br />He has to walk on sharp edge <br />His sharp intelligence works as knowledge <br />It is not loss of life that matter <br />Nothing can be compensated later<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-soldier-is-never/
