Our Father of the Indian soil, <br />You got us freedom with your toil; <br />All life, you burnt the midnight-oil; <br />Your Freedom Struggle, none could foil! <br /> <br />What simple life, you led on earth! <br />Your humbleness was seen from birth; <br />Such greatness stands always a dearth; <br />To you, all Indians owe our mirth! <br /> <br />O Mahatma, you’re live today, <br />In hearts of earthlings to this day; <br />You showed an exemplary way; <br />Your sacrifice, none can repay! <br /> <br />Although you were a simple boy, <br />You won us freedom we enjoy; <br />You persevered with your own ploy, <br />And made the British gun, a toy! <br /> <br />Your love for us, we won’t forget; <br />Great men like you, may we beget; <br />Free nation from all foreign debt; <br />To you, we owe our lives, we bet! <br /> <br />May heaven give you lasting peace; <br />May global Indians live with ease; <br />May earthlings live without disease; <br />May wars on earth totally cease! <br /> <br />We love you Father Gandhiji! <br />We’ll live upto your dreams surely; <br />We miss you very much truly; <br />We promise to do our duty! <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 2-10-2009<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-birthday-mahatma-gandhiji/
