The Indian nation celebrates <br />Another Independence Day; <br />The jubilation nev’r abates, <br />As tricolour goes up in grand a way! <br /> <br />The thought of how freedom was won <br />Afills the Indian minds and hearts; <br />Mere patriotic speeches and fun <br />Will mark the day in various Indian parts! <br /> <br />Despite the problems much galore, <br />The country has made giant strides; <br />If united and hard-working more, <br />We’ll conquer peaks and subdue angry tides! <br /> <br />But love must fill each Indian heart <br />For Motherland and fellowmen; <br />When sense of duty comes from the start, <br />The nation can become a small heaven! <br /> <br />Discipline must be people’s aim; <br />Sacrifice must run in their veins; <br />When safety, security brings fame, <br />Then progress, justice, peace in nation reigns! <br /> <br />The freedom won through great suffering <br />Must be preserved in every way; <br />Integration must be our offering, <br />While celebrating this wonderful day!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/independence-day-celebration-in-india-67th/
