My Motherland

A land of virtues with cultural grace For myriad religions, a home place A peace loving paradise by nature Honoring traditions, its grand feature Many a scholar hailed from this blessed soil Reformers made it renowned with their toil Assorted branches of knowledge flourished Awe-inspiring arts and cultures cherished Invaders tried to grab this divine land; And aimed to deface its glorious brand The brave leaped into the great freedom fight. Protected its legacy with much plight The soil, water and breezes are pious Adorned with the crown of Himalayas Handles all hardships with no compromise A true faithful friend to all its allies Truth, justice, kindness and love are its stands For global peace, it always stretches hands Evergreen is its heritage story. With a lot of joy, I praise its glory. Place: 4 If Your Birthplace-country was a poem Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon Date:02-06-2023
