The Promise to My Sister-in-Law

I'm sorry for the wrong I made,
I took some land I shouldn't have stayed.
It was my brother's, long ago,
By blood and love, I now let it go.

I won't build walls to keep you out,
Come to my side - there is no doubt.
I 'll stand up and down for thy cause,
Not making thou as a scary ghost.

I know your home has bills to pay ,
Four lakh rupees to wipe out,
Thy family pension.
With heart and soul and all I own,
I 'll help my sister-in- law , not alone.

I'll fall, I 'll rise , I 'll try once more,
With working spirits .
The sun comes from the east to the west,
Backed by scientifically true reason.

Together we will learn and grow ,
With simple tools and things we know.
We will make tomorrow right,not wrong ,
To make the real invincible sunshine,
Of the British Empire in the name of,
My late elder brother.
