This is a poem which I wrote on my birth place-India. This poem is special for I wrote this poem at the age of 14.

my India always shines.

 

our pride, our life,  

our mother, our guide,

She’s the land of Gods and Kinds

on Independence, reviewing highlights,

my India-always shines!

 

our feeder, nutrition-er

our protector, our dweller,

history-culture, She nurtured,

in the glory of new sunshine,

my India-always shines!

 

47s, Kargils, terrorism,

were only the winds,

which could not uproot the trees,

the fruits produced say thy,

my India-always shines!

 

Bapu, non-violence and truth,

our victory over falsehood.

on the stroke of twelfth midnight, saluting bloodshed,

my India-always shines!

 

from ‘pitaji’ to Pa, 

from horses to cars,

She’s the heart of world,

which no one can deny,

my India always shines!

 

the Himalayas, the beaches,

from Kashmir to Lakshadweep,

there is unity and diversity,

She’s our multicultural nation,

with multilanguages,

from villages to cities,

my India-always shines!

 

the Taj, the Ajanta, Khajuraho,

the Ganges, Narmada, Yamuna

land of lions, tigers, flora and fauna,

She’s the land of uniqueness and history,

my India -uniquely shines!

 

physically we are becoming westernized,

from heart,we are still Indianized,

we, the present youth, promises,

to make India, a Super Country,

with aspirations, dreams and deeds,

my India-always shines!

    A good effort.The depth and feelings are good.Simple words. At places the rhyme was missed and mind you bloodshed can never never be saluted.
    On the whole a good work keep it up.
