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;
Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
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.

Idle Dream

In idle dreams of long ago,

I imagined my true love;

A perfect match, a soulmate,

TUMHARI MUSKAN HO MERA JIWAN

जिस क्षण तुम मुझे स्वयं से अलग करो,

Best Friends Are Angels, That God Sent Along

If someone asked what's a best friend?

I'd have to say someone who's there 'til the bitte

desh ki mitti

देश की माटी देश का जल

हवा देश की देà¤

This One's For You
This one's for you...
You've always been there for me
You knew when I was hurting
You helpe

Without You

All these days and nights without you here,

It's a little bit more than I can bear.

The Greatest Friend

You've been with me through rough and tough

Thick and thin, until the very end

&n

Uski zaroorat rahegi

Dil mein dard hotho pe muskurahat ho

Aisa lage zindagi se koi shikayat na ho

Phir

bat hai yeh kon jo hoti nahi

जो कभी अपने समय को यों बिताते है नहीं

Best Buddies Always

God Sent Me You At A Moment In My Life

When He Knew I Needed A Companion

Only He
