Mumbai 27 November 2008

Wrapped in the white skin of an Englishman
Lies a heart and a soul
That grieves alongside
My Indian associates
My Indian family
My Indian friends

Colour doesn't separate
Nor caste
Nor faith
Nor will it ever for me
Today I grieve
For your India
For my India
For our India

But tomorrow
And the next day
And the one after
I will again give thanks
For our beautiful land
And keep alive the memories
The achievements
The shared times
The love
In my heart
In my soul
Of those lost
