My Glorious Country - India Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

My Glorious Country - India

Rating: 5.0


From the hills and valleys of Kashmir, up in the north;
to the sea coast of Kanyakumari, down in the south;
exuberance and fascination cascades grandeur of uniqueness,
as many come to climb atop our Mount Everest
as many come to gaze at the pristine beauty of our Taj Mahal,
the sanctity of the Golden Temple, the palaces of Rajasthan and Mysore,
the sculptures at Mohenjo daro, the ruins at Hampi,
the Churches and Cathedrals of Goa, the seashores of our coastline,
O' how it all tempts so many to visit our country;
Cultures so galore, so also traditions, religions and faiths;
tolerance, endurance and unity in every Indian heart;
the rich, the poor in contentment of their own houses chant their prayers for blessings of prosperity
though everyday they rush to work to earn their livelihood;
men and women, boys and girls always charitable to others in hours of need
as in calamities and disasters they unite to lend a helping hand;
as the world across remembers of our national hero- Gandhi
who preached and practiced attainment of peace through non-violence
and till today all our nation follows his foot steps;
glory bustles in my country with uniqueness so unbelievable
as peacocks dance to show their colors
while lions silently roar in the night with hunger
how proudly walks the huge elephants with patriotism at our national parades
while our Presidents and Prime Ministers in their speeches invite the world
to inter-act with our progressive nation and experience our humbleness;
as you can watch the villagers stand together to plough their fields and share their harvests;
while the young, the strong contest with each other over friendly matches;
no greater joy it gives unto every Indian as together they smile,
together they cheer,
when every game of cricket or tennis brings home the cup of victory,
together they all jump, together they all celebrate our nation's joys and triumphs;
and as people from various countries flock to our cities to enjoy nature and freedom,
my glorious country India beams with delight of Independence and
immense harmony;
Glory O' Glory to my India,
Glory to a nation which lives gracefully in peace.
