Token of Courage

It was really unbelievable for her first 
She was not ready to accept it as well
But truth is a strong dictator 
Who never listen to anybody's likes or dislikes 
And make people understand it's power 

He whom she eloped with is just a body now 
The courageous army man dedicated 
his life to his mother land 
Never did he thought twice before volunteering to be a part of battalion who were leaving to border  that faces a never ending attack 
Nor did he thought of his wife who had left everything to live with him 
He deliberately forgot the smile of his 2 year old baby 
That's he 
A genuine soldier who thinks of the nation first 
National flag and uniform was there in each of his heart beat

Everyone leaves her after his funeral 
She and his memories 
along with a little baby remains there unmoved 
To live without him was not there even in her wildest dreams 
It will be painful for her to accept the fact 
It will take time for her to move on
Darkness will be what she see for a long time
Depression will become the ruler of her mind
Tears and haunting memories will become her daily companion 

This are all what we think 
But her thoughts were more on her daughter 
No one who knows her will blame her motherhood 
But how can she be a father as well 
He showed his strength when situation demanded 
Now the world is going to see hers
She can't fail as she is the better half of naton's saviour 
And she will not as she knows he will be watching her from the heaven

Anju, a sad yet powerful message you have expressed here. Alas, this has been the plight of too many left behind. Best to you as you continue your poetical journey. Bob
