Unprotected unguarded
Prone to perils as we lived
Saving us as we slept, that Angel stood
Between us and death as pledged

Trampling those endangering us with their venomous hood
If it meant losing his breath, he would
Valiant and unfazed that Angel stood
Unnamed, unknown deep in the wood

Sacrifices galore pinned to his chest
In the bargain burning his own nest
His self and happiness always put to test
Still loving his country and men with all his zest

Fighting till the last drop of his blood
Standing guard till he is dead
Marching into the unknown with every breath of bugler
Facing all odds, standing on his own pyre

Away from garlands and that foyer
Scaring death with his fearless stare
Guarding us, ungrateful, without remorse year after year
Akin to Gibraltar stood this angel of valour

A Hero of the country and our God of Courage
Who served us at cost of his life with no mention in any page
With all respect, Sir, we stand still to mourn
As you chose your time to walk into oblivion

God stands to garland you for sure
O Angel of compassion who served the nation without malice or lure
The very thought of missing you here
Smears my eye with a gush of tear

We miss you a lot my dear brother
Rest in God with all peace...My dearest Soldier.
