One late summer morning,
First time we met.
Fell I deep in love,
Found life in you,
Withstanding every pain, like a raging sea,
My love for thee is a strong rock.
Sweet memories I remember,
Laughing and smiling;
When thou said “I will join war”,
My heart ached,
Felt like death approached.
Nay I liked thee joining war,
My lover, me alone now:
Nay kisses sweet as sugar, nay joys,
Home a blaze, fear I gun shots.
Like a battlefield, my heart burning and burning…
Sleepless nights, thou keep earning.
Thou, a sacrificial soldier!
You say “I hast a duty to fulfil…”
“To save our country from evil.”
Counting fingers,
Day and Night…
Watch I each morning
Of thy homecoming.
