Poem

Exuding purity, while honour bestowing
“Sampaguita” I am, my country’s national flower
Jasminum sambac --- such is my scientific name
beautifully functional with my fragrance
oozing through a branded perfume.

With my God-endowed economic potential
I’m sought to provide livelihood opportunities 
since leis and garlands produced out of my being
help build-up entrepreneurs in our community
as well as growers, showing resilience and patience.

Modesty aside, I’m an inspiration to many artists:
poets exalt my sublime scent and accolade-granting petals
sculptors have me accentuated, like in my ceremonial torch feature 
singers express serenade-lyrics, comparing me to a virgin
painters exhibit my adornment impact.

Symbolizing graceful simplicity and sacredness
my optimization is offered to the Almighty 
Who blesses fully my sweet existence beyond survival bliss
as I yield to Him my all, while worshipping Him 
with my biblical fellow flowers, rose of Sharon, and lily of the valleys.*

*Song of Solomon 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
