I wish I were

I wish I were a soldier

Hiding in the bushes like a spider

With bombs and guns on my shoulder

Protecting the border

Scaling the icy peaks

Fueled by the energy of youth

Without any fear of falling

Into the deep valleys of Kargil

In this battle field

The hunter himself may get hunted

But fighting against the intruders

One feels like a true soldier

Inspired by those before me

Whose blood brought us freedom

I hereby pledge to preserve it

Till my very last breath

[ It was written by me when I was in school. I still remember the lines. ]
