Poem Title:
Poem
Hailed as “Pearl of the Orient Seas” is my country God has blessed her with bounty so richly precious Including a glorious, peculiar history… That really makes me constantly freedom-conscious. In Southeast Asia is where she's settled grandly Possessing distinct culture she shares with neighbors; Her heritage nurtured thru virtues lived by daily Exposes me to good values as right armors. With her triumphantly fought-for independence Wrought by God’s sovereignty with people’s unity Along heroes’ ardor, powered by love’s providence… Now, I’m anchored by peace and justice-certainty. By right governance, my country is doing well Against evil society’s destructive attack My fellow citizens’ great fortitude level Helps me rise, as I, too, lift my pals at my back. Midst challenges besetting my country’s courage Despite crises and calamities she must face Still, her residents stand resilient in every stage… Thus, I do pray for her to prevail by God’s grace! I thank God* for my good country and great nation, This is where my identity is perfected... “Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!” My assertion! “Long live the Philippines!” I declare, elated! *Psalm 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. August 23, 2018 Edited on June 25, 2023 1st place, "If Your Birthplace-country was a poem" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Anoucheka Gangabissoon; judged on 7/8/2023
