It's My Turn

They (Soldiers) were young n vibrant,
          When pledged to live n die for nation.
They chose  life of bunkers,
            In dessert, jungle and  mountain.
They faught till they could,
              for the pride of motherland.
Some martyred and many,
               lost their limbs and hands.
 We are breathing freedom, because of them.
 Country is safe n shining, because of them.
They sacrified their life,  for our safety.
Their rehabilitation is now our duty.
Its our turn, to look after them.
Now,
It's my turn,  to take care of them.
