They Did Their Share

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

On Veteran’s Day we honor
Soldiers who protect our nation.
For their service as our warriors,
They deserve our admiration.Some of them were drafted;
Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;
For some it’s been many years;In the jungle or the desert,
On land or on the sea,
They did whatever was assigned
To produce a victory.Some came back; some didn’t.
They defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.No matter what the duty,
For low pay and little glory,
These soldiers gave up normal lives,
For duties mundane and gory.Let every veteran be honored;
Don’t let politics get in the way.
Without them, freedom would have died;
What they did, we can’t repay.We owe so much to them,
Who kept us safe from terror,
So when we see a uniform,
Let’s say "thank you" to every wearer.

-Joanna Fuchs

A Walk With You

Leaves crackle and crunch beneath my feet

as l inhale the air that smells so sweet

DESH HAMARA HAI

इस देश की मिट्टी में

धर्म फूले फले

ruthe huye yaar ko manau

Socha tha k apne ruthe huye yar ko manau

Ja ke uske daman mein toot kar bikhar jaau

Tujhse Milne Ko Bhi Hum Machal jatey hain

 

तुझसे मिलने को कभी हम जो मचल जात

Be Strong In Life

 

There are times when things go wrong,

But, you need to be strong,

The Arrow And The Song

I shot an arrow into the air,

It fell to earth, I knew not where;

For, so swiftly

kya kami reh gayi

Dubkiyan sindhu mein gota khor lagaata hai

 

ja ja kar khaali haath laut aat

JEE LE APNI ZINDAGI

सच तो है ये जिंदगी कुछ लम्हात

एहसा�

The Dream
Love, if I weep it will not matter,
And if you laugh I shall not care;
Foolish am I to think

Best Friends
if someone said what's a best friend
I'd have to say someone who's there, till the bitter end
