My Country First Poem by Sandhya Suri

This is no ordinary feeling
when I take the oath in pride
a call to duty to place
my country first!
~
This is a moment to cherish
for I am chosen
to salute my motherland
my country first!
~
This minute on I begin
my eternal relationship
of service and sacrifice
my country first!
~
Privileged am I to be
to strive towards excellence
for, nothing but my all I give to
my country first!
