Interview with Dr Malik Ahmed Saeed, (Lt.Col. Retd)

PAGE: Tell me something about yourself, please:

A poem about myself

A Veteran, with stories untold,

His memoirs waiting to unfold.

A soldier, tough and brave,

But with a heart that's kind and gave.

A doctor, a true Messiah,

A life-saving, compassionate fire.

A father, a superhero in our eyes,

Who sacrificed his all, no compromise.

A traveler, with a heart full of wonder,

Making memories, as we wander.

A companion, with whom to explore,

Living life, never to be a bore.

An elder brother, a friend and guide,

Standing by us, through every tide.

A fatherly figure, always there,

Our love for him, beyond compare.
