On watching Sam Bahadur... (reminds me what I had written on 03 April 2021 for him)

MY WAR HERO

A man of courage and wit, forthright, fearless, indeed very brave

Tackle n handle easily he could, situations important n very grave.

His subordinates many, adored him; because, to pressure he did not cave

This Hero, towards the road to victory against Pakistan, India did pave

A soldier to the core, to fight Her enemies, he was always at the fore

Noble towards the defeated, he treated them well, goes the folks lore.

Undaunted he stood upright even when people in possession, tried to settle a score

Their shameful behavior he tolerated; for he was a soldier to the core.

When APJ visited him at the hospital, and helped solve the salary difference or dispute

Sam regretted, he couldn't, the President of India salute

Charmed he many, including APJ, with his  behavior peculiar n  astute

Sam, may Ahura bless you and keep you in His loving arms, is my prayer mute.
