Oh salute...oh salute!
Oh my country great!salute!
Oh mother land, oh mother land-
All thy children, world salute!
Oh salute...oh salute!
Oh my country, great!salute!
All so spreading, lie so vast-
All so loving, world so fast,
So adored, adored the greatest-
Oh my country, great salute!
Mounts, the plains, rivers, so oceans-
Skies, all blessing, blessing well,
Nature all so blooming nice-
All ever, so wise, so wise,
Shining, shining, great oh great-
Oh mother land, sweetest, right,
Oh salute... oh salute!
Oh my country great!salute!
Tongues so varied, soul so one!
All her children love her well!
For her live, and die for her-
All her wishes keep so well,
Oh salute...oh salute!
Oh my country great, salute!
Glories of the ancient past-
All so kept and grown so vast,
Through her children, going, going-
As the wondrous thought, to greet,
Oh salute...oh salute!
Oh my country great! salute!
Oh mother land, oh mother land!
All thy children, world salute!

William John

I am born and brought up in Kerala state, in India. In Kerala, Thrissur city is my native place and now I am residing at Kadavoor village in Ernakulam district.I am a senior lawyer at The High Court of Kerala. Literary talents all dwelt in my blood from my very birth itself. From, while studying in the primary classes, I wrote stories, dramas and poems in Malayalam.While studying in high school classes I wrote stories and poems in English. Then it grew in me as an endless blessing craze. I do write in English as well. I do write stories, novels, dramas and verses. I have written more than twenty thousand poems in Malayalam, about twenty novels and more plays.In English, now I have completed more than seven hundred poems. I think, very soon that it will grow to at least a five thousand. I am so much pleased and thankful to those nice friends who go through my poems all over the world and shower the rain of horripilate congratulations. Yours,William John(Email: adv.williamjohn@gmail.com)blog: http://leopardmom1.blogspot.in/facebook fan page : http://www.facebook.com/PoetWilliamJohn?ref=ts more…
