The Young Chronicle: For Grade 3 January 31st, 2015 | Page 6

YOUNG CHRONICLE

The Unsung Heroes
So many deaths,
Shrieks and Cries,
The soldiers with patriotism still alive,
Have left their homes and died.
The dreams together they had sown,
Never to be fulfilled,
Their graves have already been
Forgotten and filled.
Today the widows,
And the orphans,
Reach out with despair,
All they have is memories and pride,
But we all know their pain is beyond repair.
Written as a tribute to Col. M.N. Rai, who won the Gallantry Award, this republic Day, and was killed in gunfire,
the very next day, in Kashmir; and all the other martyrs till date.
