India is our land, our Motherland! <br />Sacred are the soil, water and air; <br />All Indians are our brothers, sisters; <br />We love our nation great and care. <br /> <br />Our nation is not rich but isn’t poor; <br />We love its vastness and its heritage; <br />We are proud to be called Indians; <br />We will usher a golden new age. <br /> <br />We love our home where we were born; <br />We trust in God and work for global peace; <br />We want amity among nations all; <br />We pray to God that wars may cease. <br /> <br />We want to live in harmony; <br />We want to progress very fast; <br />We want to help all those who need; <br />Our bickering is things of the past. <br /> <br />We will not force nor allow foes; <br />We toil to reach the moon and stars; <br />We stand united in joys and woes; <br />We pledge our lives for nation’s sake. <br /> <br />The Indian heart has love for life; <br />The Indian soul is kind from birth; <br />The Indian welcomes any strife; <br />The Indian brain is best on earth. <br /> <br />We are a nation proud and good; <br />We want to share our love and peace; <br />We brook not outside interference; <br />Impenetrable is our nation’s defence! <br />Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai Indian! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 15-08-2009<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/india-s-63rd-independence-day-a-pledge/
