The Fallen Hero
The poem tells the story of a dedicated military man who works hard for his country, his job, and his family. Every time he leaves home, he promises his wife and children that he’ll return, even though he carries fear and worry in his heart. He prays for protection so his family won’t suffer in his absence. But one day, tragedy strikes — he leaves for duty and never comes back. The poem mourns the pain of his wife and children and raises deep questions about how the families of fallen heroes are treated. It ends as a tribute, honoring the poet’s father, a naval officer who passed away, and calling for fallen heroes to never be forgotten.
