I am alive, I can feel the light
May be I am bleeding,
And my body is covered with weals
But look at my eyes, they are gleaming
And with the dripping bloody lips
I kiss you; please make me realize
I am alive, in your heart, in our life.
May be I will dying in your arms
But chase is not over, conspirators can’t outshine
The battle is all mine, my little girl- save your life
Release me and reel your life
Give it some meaning, knit it nice
Baby I am still alive, I will fight to save our lives.

The author's comments:
A father has a zillion dreams about his daughter... and the worst thing happens when he has a ocean to say but no energy to convey....fighting and dying hard.. and try to light up the world of the daughter with his lil words.. words that he tells her in noisy hub of battlefield.. unconsciously hoping that she is listening .. each and everything.
