How delighted am I to know
My works enlighten
The heart and souls of warriors
I know..,

They feel once after a war
When they come home,
Not divested but deprived
Of a vocation of their own

But I am sure
That no nation does the bravery
And self-less sacrifice
Of warriors disown.

Great are such soldiers and men
They never die
But fade away
Sadly but not in vain
