Please don't leave

"Please don't leave ,stay here, atleast for me

I know it's not doable for you,

But being a mother I must say

I can't see you being a part of that deadliest victory"

She sobbed in sorrow.

"No mumma, I can't see my another mother in menace,

Like you she is also my mother

And being a responsible son of her,

I have to take wedge in the deadliest victory"

He uttered it proudly.

"The battle cry has begun mumma,

My fellows are craving for our victory

Now it's getting too late,

I have to leave mumma"

She hugged her son tightly

The tears overflowed her eyes,

Just before he left, he told only a little line

"Either I will hoist our flag there or I will return wrapped in that flag".
