I found this one, but I don't know exactly do you find for it!

Mahatma Gandhi

The man of honesty

The man of Greatness

He is our Mahatma

The father of our nation!

Born in a family

Of Cultured background

Grown in a circle

Of Loving parents.

Honest, truthful and simple

Of body so frail yet nimble

With heart so big and true

With gifts but given to few.

Made many mistakes

Realized his faults

Vowed never to repeat them

And never committed them again.

Loved his motherland

Brought her freedom

With the weapon of non-violence

And not a drop of blood-shed.

Bravely to prison he went

Though so old and bent

Many a blow did he get

Yet never did he fret.

With guns and knives, he did not fight

Satyagraha was his eternal might

India's independence he fought and won

Bloodshed and bitterness there was none.

Adopted penance and fasting

Started the Satyagraha

Gave up foreign goods

And inspired wearing Khadi.

That's the Italian version. I have my personal translation, but I was looking for the original text for an exam.
Un donoPrendi un sorriso,regalalo a chi non l'ha mai avuto.Prendi un raggio di sole,fallo volare lā dove regna la notte.Scopri una sorgente,fa bagnare chi vive nel fango.Prendi una lacrima,posala sul volto di chi non ha pianto.Prendi il coraggio,mettilo nell'animo di chi non sa lottare.Scopri la vita,raccontala a chi non sa capirla.Prendi la speranza,e vivi nella sua luce.Prendi la bontā,e donala a chi non sa donare.Scopri l'amore,e fallo conoscere al mondo.Mahatma Gandh

Hi Rosita, nice to read you again! Iīve been googling and itīs a little bit difficult to find poems by Ghandhi on the Net. Most of his works seem to be on politics.

http://wikilivres.info/wiki/Mohandas_K._Gandhi

Could you please copy & paste the Italian translation? Maybe this way we could find something...

Dear friends,

I'm desperately looking for a poem written by Gandhi. I found it in Italian, but I need it in original. I can't find in English. Why? Was it written in another language?
Can you help me?????
The title in Italian is DONO (gift).
Thank you so much.
