To My Home Land – Poem

To the land of the flourishing dynasties

Prosperous ethnicities

And refining antiquities

 ****

I’m falling in love with the colors of your nature

With the hospitality of your creature

And with the beauty of your architecture

 ****

You are the one that bears the sorrow of the people

The malice of the devil

And the heaviness of the castle

May God bless the splendor of your mountain

Add beauty to the magic of your fountain

And have mercy on your innocent slain

****

My land, forgive me for not being so diligent for what you deserve

And not considerate to what you preserve

But my love to you will persist and run until death in my nerve
