The Last Goodbye

The city was in danger, he was told

Outside it was dark at night and cold

A soldier he was, now on duty

Some merciless people had attacked the beauty

He gave no second thought and hurried his way to the scene

It was terrifying than it could have ever been

Love for the country it was, that made him so brave and bold

He could see the river of blood flowing on the streets of gold

A vast destruction had been planned and was being tried

Only sounds of explosions and bullets could be heard from inside

A lot were injured and a lot were killed

It was his turn now, time to hit back, he was so thrilled

But an evil bullet found its way and pierced right into his heart

This was his glorious end, his life’s last part

Memories of dear and loved ones in his eyes

Still happily died for he had done it to save many lives

He came out as a legend, he had gifted his life

A daughter so innocent and a startled wife

A mother wailing so loud

And a father so proud

Its not just a heavy box covered with The National Flag that they are carrying

Its the weight and pain of separation

For a hero who could not say the last goodbye.
