Daya Nandan Poems

And now begins a brand new year,
A new beginning that is drawing near,
Another chance to for us to use time's gift,
To give our hopes and dreams a powerful lift,
...

Islam is not a religion of terrorism,
Nor does it promote senseless barbarism,
It is a religion just like any other,
Teaching lessons of peace to one another,
...

My land of birth, this land i love,
Malaysia, the blessed land from God above,
Many have given their lives for this land in which i lived and grew,
To protect it courage within and weapons our soldiers drew,
...

That tender look with that loving face,
Brings me to that magical place,
Beyond the heavens and stars above,
To that magical feeling that men call love,
...

A dog's loyalty has no bounds,
Be it shepherds, mastiffs or even hounds,
A sense of loyalty as profound as the perfect wife,
Your dog would risk it all just to save your life,
...

Studying is no joke, it determines our life,
Whether we become a hero or a criminal with a knife,
It is not impossible to dedicate a few hours,
To know that every bit of knowledge feeds us strong powers,
...

Within the drawer of a broken home,
Lies an old photograph left alone,
A faded photograph so full of care,
With father and mother with love to share,
...

Mom, i love you so very much,
You raised me with care and your loving touch,
Mother, you truly have a golden heart,
You walked me through my first steps for my life to start,
...

If the police fails to protect you from crime,
If the criminal plans to kill you in time,
What other choices do you really have left?
Self-defense or let yourself be a victim of murder and theft,
...

Do not be a slave but be the master of your destiny,
Do not be ruled, courage and handwork is the key,
Do not let your parents force a career for your life,
Do not let them force you pick a husband or a wife,
...
