O INDIA

O INDIA

O land of
My Fathers'
So verdant,
And hued
I am
Honored to
Be a part
Of you.

The many
Costumes
That 
Adorn your
People's souls
Is like
A saree
From the
Himalayas
To Coinbatore!

So intricately 
Woven and
Worn.

Every custom
And tradition
Is rich
In beautiful 
Variation.

The peacock
And 
The tiger
Dance to
The rhythmic
Songs
Of your 
Many different 
Folk!

All living 
In 
Chaotic harmony...
What a
Legacy!

How wonderful
You are
O land of
My 
Fathers'
Land of
India!
