Great Indian Republic Day* Poem by Subbaraman N V

GREAT REPUBLIC DAY!

Great Republic Day has come and gone
sixty six years since it was born
With joy and gaiety functions we had
Great American President made
Memorable visit not to fade
Not in the past had anyone made!

Flags were fluttering with joy and pride
Troops were moving pretty fast as tide
Parachuters gliding in the air
Paratroopers doing very fair
Army men and women passing smart
All the people grateful in their heart!

Intellectuals a worried lot
Promised development where to spot?
Nation's unity not to be harmed
People's wellbeing sure to be nursed
Nation's core values not to be torn
Country's pride not to be left forlorn!
