Singapore

By eastern shores, an island state; A red dot small on the world map; Work weaves a core to seal our fate; We heed the call to bridge our gaps. We greet the world with steadfast poise; Align our hearts and minds to live; Let focus swirl with steady choice; Explore the art to serve and give. There is a way to do what's right; Live with spirit that forges proof; Let peace portray a simple light; Watch work and wit abide in truth. Yes with one poise, we live and play; Our women wear meek charming smiles; Our children voice a sanguine say; Ambition fares in brand new styles. May all our dreams for Singapore Bring fond blessings for one and all; May cheery schemes bring joy galore; May your passing bind big and small. May all things good now happen here; May we be strong when trials entwine; May our true mood be one of cheer; May anthem song rouse yours and mine! May faith and hope steer lovely days; May love help live your legacy; Your foresight scopes our vibrant ways; Your spirit lives in all we see. Goodbye dear son of Singapore: The way you paved brought us thus far; Each dawn, the sun blesses our shores; Rest with the brave fond sparkling stars. Leon Enriquez 24 March 2015 Singapore

Nice poem Leon. I left Singapore back in 1970. It was a raw place in those days. I will read some more when I am less tired. God Bless. D.
