To fight or not that was the question,
To fight for whom was another question .

They were not an extraordinary man
Who fought day and night selflessly ,
Had they been thinking like us and restricted to themselves ,
Our mother land would have been invaded by now!

The good night's sleep that we get ,
The joy that we have with our families during festivals ,
Is just because of them.
The mood of holidaying also sways them
But their self control and duties!

They were not an extraordinary man ,
Who fought day and night selflessly .
One day, those advanced countries sent their troops to invade us,
Our soldiers died not for themselves
But for the true love for their country
No mother can love her child
No husband can love his wife
More than a gentleman's love for his country

We often salute and appreciate their hard work only on Martyr'Day, Republic Day and Independence Day.
Every day should be the one above mentioned
After all,all we need is a love from our loved once.

Had it been not just a few days for them ,
The wives,the mothers ,the daughters they left behind would be happy!
