Young children are naturally curious observers who want to understand the deeper meaning behind everything, especially festivals. This Raksha Bandhan, instead of just asking your little one to tie Rakhi and give gifts, take a moment to explain the ‘why’ behind the tradition of tying Rakhi. This helps young minds develop a meaningful connection to their heritage and culture.
Therefore, before Raksha Bandhan, sit with your kids and explain the beautiful bond this festival represents. Poems are a particularly powerful tool to teach your little ones the importance of festivals like Raksha Bandhan. Rakhi poems in English combine storytelling with rhythm and rhyme, making the lessons about love, protection, and sibling bonds both memorable and engaging for preschoolers. Through simple verses, children can grasp the heart of what makes Rakhi so special. In this blog, we will share five wonderful Raksha Bandhan poems in English that will help your little ones truly understand and cherish this festival.

2. This full moon day our hearts are in brim
Feeling of faith and serenity in mind.
We light the lamps and our hearts glow
Radiance of happiness and peace are in flow.
Harmonious homes are like streams of joy
Flowing and flourishing the landscape enroute.
Nobility in heart and character in deed
Righteous homes alone make a beautiful State.
Sisters will tie the thread on the brothers
Abiding them to do only what is right and clean.
Put the Kumkum and blessed rice on the head
Where will dwell right thoughts and noble action

A brother’s Love
is a sister’s
greatest treasure
A sister’s happiness
is a brother’s
deepest desire

4. The woman I call sister
is someone who is there
The woman I call sister
is someone who always cares.
The woman I call sister
Can make me smile when time are blue
The woman I call sister
is someone very true.
The woman I call sister
By choice, she is my best friend
The woman I call sister
Will be there till the end.
The woman I call sister
is the blessing from God above
The woman I call sister
is the sister that I’ll always love.
5. They share a special bond that is impossible to describe.
It can only be felt and understood by the sisters who share it.
They go through life together as a team, helping and supporting each other
Through whatever this world has destined for them.
They will never give up on each other,
For giving up on your sister means giving up on yourself.
They smile together, laugh together,
Lie for each other, lie to each other and cry together.
Your sister is the one person you can confide your whole self to, the one person who understands.
She is the person who will stand by your side until the very end.
She has and always will be there for you during all the times in your life,
Whether they be happy or sad.
A sister is someone who knows you better than you know yourself.
She is someone you can’t imagine your life without,
And just the thought of it makes you want to cry.
She is someone who knows you’re not okay, even when you say you are.
Your sister is and always will be your very best friend.
