I Gaze At Thee!

On the 69th Independence Day of our wonderful country - India, a salute to the tricolour which inspired millions to fight for freedom, and continues to inspire millions more to fight to keep the freedom too!

I Gaze At Thee!

I gaze at thee With wondrous eyes Upon the magnificence of thy light Remembering that unsung millions died For this freedom That I now wear with pride

I gaze at thee With wondrous eyes Upon the undying love commanded, by right Over millions, who at outposts wait To shed , if required ,in a trice Their blood, their sweat, Why, even their very life!

I gaze at thee With wondrous eyes Upon the serenity the mind gets at thy sight Lifting spirits across the horizon infinite Enveloping in warmth so right & true Within the intricate tapestry Of saffron, white, green and a spot of blue

I shall gaze at thee , I shall gaze at thee Indeed forever so For truly tricolour, You shall always be, Most beautiful and wondrous to behold in my sight !
