इन्देपेंदांस!!!

India’s National Anthem

Jana-gana-mana adhinayaka, jaya he
Bharata-bhagya-vihata
Pujab-Sindh-Gujarat-Maratha
Dravida-Utkala-Banga
Vindhya-Himachala-Yamuna-Ganga
Uchchhala-jaladhi-taranga.
Tava shubha name jage,
Tava shubha asisa mage,
Gahe tava jaya gatha.
Jana-gana-mangala-dayaka jaya he
Bharata-bhagya-vidhata.
Jaya he, jaya he, jaya he,
Jaya jaya jaya, jaya he!

सुच इस लाइफ.

I worked so hard again today,
And taught a widow macramé.
Ever busy was our day,
Just barely finding the time to pray.
I thought myself into a headache today,
So thankful for His promise to stay.
It rains and pours for hours each day,
Still they’re thankful for a sky so grey.
Together, we laughed so much today,
My belly now sore from what she did say.
Her and I, we’re like sisters today,
We’ll be together, come what may.
My daddy cried for me today,
Silently on my bed I lay.
I hurt someone badly on this day,
I’m a human, it’s just our way.
My sweet mum kissed my cheek today,
I felt it softly from miles away.
They’ll love me forever, everyday…
Though I’m unworthy, I silently say.
Mistakes I made aplenty all day,
Perfection is lacking, I’m beginning to fray.
Still I’ll try tomorrow and the next day,
To follow His wisdom and obey.
I know God molded me today,
My shape coming together from that big heap of clay.
