Aside Snows

Far aside the snow mountains, Amidst chilly white snow-flakes; Staring at frozen fountains, Stand melt, our hungry soldiers... Daring to bear cruel cold Midst high hills of Leh, Ladakh; Holding their guns with soul bold, Fearless, their foes to attack... Oaths solemn sworn to safeguard, The borders of their nation; Shivering, trembling in cold, Their life stands and oblation... They break bold ice-slated rocks, For drops of drinking water; We put nation into docks To save her hey get slaughtered... 13 January 2022

I too feel for them ! I can imagine how difficult it is for them to live on in a mountainous terrain especially in winter, exposed to cold and under perpetual threat to their very existence. A great tribute, Chris !
