For long long years I stood to see <br />How invigorated men of God could be <br />How gallant sons of soil behold their pride <br />How life and death go side by side <br />I saw the trainers in their sheer dedication <br />In starchy dress in brilliant fashion <br />Melodious songs of boots and hoofs <br />Crossing the edges of the reddish roofs <br />The cadets will, to touch the edge of eternity <br />I saw their pride I salute to thee <br />Flames of love kindled in their soul <br />Unity of action remains their goal <br />I depart but my soul remains <br />In the breath in Academy'soul <br /> <br /> <br />Col Muhammad Khalid Khan <br />Copyright 2013 Chains of Life<br /><br />Col Muhamad Khalid Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/veteran-tree/
