'While allowing others to breathe, he himself ran out of breath! So among war mongers and wicked schemers, there are angel like men! Let the world fall prostrate before heroes like Saman Kunam! ' - No tribute can be better than this soulful tribute to a fallen hero, who gave away his own life to save many others. Appreciate your heart touching comment, @Valsa George.

Your taking this poem to your favorite list has greatly inspired me, dear Aqua Flower. Your kind words have made my day! Thank you.
This brought tears to my eyes and I thank you for such a stunning tribute to a SUPERHERO, he sacrificed his life to help those children and their football coach, he will never be forgotten.
I am moved by the expression of your emotion, Hazel. I am glad that my poem, written in reverence to this 'superhero' as you called him, has touched your heart. Thank you.
I just got to know about Officer Saman Kunam. His sacrifice has established an example of humanity. It's my bad habit, nowadays I'm not going through newspapers. I highly appreciate this poem of you.
It's wonderful to meet you here, Jahid! Thanks for stopping by, read my poem and leave an appreciative comment. I am much inspired by your appreciation.
Today, almost the whole day, I thought of the supreme sacrifice this man has made to save those twelve soccer loving (and playing) children and their young coach. His sacrifice has brought tears of joy to their family members and the peace loving people of the world, while perhaps, tears of sorrow are still rolling down the cheeks of his own family members. He deserves a national, or perhaps an international award for peace! My thoughts and solemn prayers for his bereaved family!
greatly penned truly said- You being unaware, unconcerned about yourself, Quietly ran out of air! /// with your voice I want to salute the Petty Officer Saman Kunam! exquisite writings of time

@Edward Kofi Louis, Yes, it's love for humanity from a very loving, tender heart that lay hidden under a military uniform. Thanks for your comment.
