'Patriotism' Poem by Kezang Dawa

Patriotism
Remember them
If you all have the heart of a man
The legend of the heritage kings
Who ruled the country with love?
Showering with peace and prosperity
We are lucky as he was born
In the regal country of Drukyul
We shall pray with our hearts
For his long and healthy life
The saviors of the nation
When anything we need
They are gallant deed
Love and care we all enjoy
They are like rainbows
That emits rays of hope and aspiration
We wish we are worthy to be their disciples
Enjoy the benevolence from dharma man
Liberated with Gross National Happiness
They sowed the wiser seeds for tomorrow’s field
Happiness is what we shall get always
We shall sing the song with national flag
Fluttering with rhythm
Of ‘gelo gelo lha gelo
Pelden Drukpa lha gelo
Mewang Gyelpo kutshi ringwaa sho’
Is what we wish for 17th December?
In remembrance of our beloved dharma kings.
