I Saved Her, For Her Poem by Rahul Singh Rana

I Saved Her, For Her

Rating: 5.0


The day I was born,
With my blurred vision
Recognizing slowly everyone around me
I heard about my father,
A brother and A sister
I also heard
About my two mothers.

I grew up
In splendid affection shown by
My two mothers
One who gave me birth
Another one who supported me
Who gave me a place to set foot upon.

Not able to decide whose love was deeper.
I stepped into my teenage.
I chose to defend my country.
I chose to save HER
for HER.

Choosing to defend my one mother
To give a peaceful sleep,
A sense of security to
Thousands of mothers.

I sensed a fear,
A hue and a cry,
Whenever my mother
wrote me something.
I defended my tears
I defended my mother,
I defended my country.

I assured her of returning
Promising her of my presence
In flesh and blood
Wiping away her fears
Her tears.
Still knowing the hollowness
Of my promise
I had a hope.

Today I lie wounded
Shot by another soldier
Who too left her one mother
For another.
All fears are dead
All dreams
All hopes shattered
But,
I am happy
I am proud
For,
I defended my one mother
For another.
for i saved her,
for her.
