The Last Kiss (A Soldier's Letter Before War)

by Bhavin   Dec 3, 2008


Ceaselessly guarding your respect and esteem
I wait for endless chances to serve you
O! Motherland, my blood drops scream
To pay your every debt and due.

Mulling each day as my life's last day
I pen down this letter as my last
Sleeping in your womb is what I pray
Everytime I defend and keep your honour chaste.

All I ask is to carry this last message
To all the beloved people in my life
Kisses is what you shall find in this page
And a bid to avoid conflict and strife.

Starting this note for my beloved parents
I ask you to kiss their holy feet
Who bore my wishes, my ire and rants
Who taught me to fight rather than retreat.

I ask you to kiss my fellow kith and kin
Teaching them a lesson of brotherhood
Praying endlessly for their effortless win
I ask them to avoid hatred and feud.

O! Motherland, please kiss my children
Who may lose the shadow of mine
The gloom of losing me shouldn't rob their fun
Please bless them this patriotic feeling divine.

A special message and a kiss to my better half
Who showered me with support through thick and thin
Chase away her sorrows and make her laugh
Everytime this note touches her heart deep within.

Last but not the least I take this chance
To hug you and cherish this moment of bliss
I beg to sleep in you, after my last war dance
I end by dedicating you my Last Kiss.

    Reading this poem, tears comes from my eyes when i remember those women and children who'd lost their husband and father in the war. Yes life is beautiful, yet it's a risk but watching those men leave their families to serve their countries or for an obligations, i could put myself at these women place. Knowing that each time their husband left, they're worried and hoping he'll return safe.
    A very good thought my friend, keep it up, kel.
