Dreams To Die For

A eleven-year-old girl stands in front of her class

Narrating the gallant deeds of a soldier

Unwavering they continue to strive for the country

A new challenge awaits you everyday

where to act quickly is the only way.

The army reminds her of the sun

So powerful, so fierce

Relentlessly radiating brightness

Does it ever forget to shine?

A valiant soldier served in the Kargil War

Leading one of the toughest operations in history.

His comrade severely injured

Instead of running away, dragged his mate to safety

But was shot and succumbed to his wounds.

The girl stifles a sob,

For little did they know, this heroic soldier was her father.

Resolves she to make her father proud

And fulfill her father's dream to serve the nation

Living her every breath for the country.

(Thousands of dreams die by just thinking what to do next!

Don't just think, Plan Now! Act Now! for what you want to achieve.

Else just see your dream die in front of you!)
