My country

My country is :
 The tone of my songs,
The beautiful scene of my birthday,
The homeland of my boyhood,
The bright page of my book,
 The joy of my youth,
The everlasting constancy of my friends,
 It is my happiness and joy.
I will wander all your sides and
 Improve your casual conditions.  
Your anxiety and fear increase my sorrow   
I always love you.
 Your love, for me,  is  sacrifice,
 determination and dedication.
I will cultivate in your soul the ropes
of aspirations and hope.
I will beautify my place.
 I will predate my time with the strength
 of faith, patience, and satisfaction.
