Gallantry Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Gallantry

Rating: 5.0


The soldier was receiving the gallantry award.

In his mind was not

How many enemies he had killed
How bravely he had fought the war
How greatly he defended his country
The heaping praises
The glittering medal

But…

The reassuring happiness
Of having come out of it

Alive!
