An Evolving Deal
I see how these people work to the hilt,
to offer themselves to a certain cause;
to take part in the so-called Project Hospitality
as they interact with all sorts of people.
An interfaith effort that takes its course in the island.
a wonderful institution that commits to people.
with numerous endeavors and assistance given;
they're faithful enough to lead them to light.
Giving shelter to the homeless
sounds clearly as part of the Beatitudes
Feeding the hungry and caring for the sick;
exemplify the gospel attitude
that one endeavors to fulfill God's criterion.
Beautiful souls, servants of the poor!
with great admiration they represent us all.
Like committed missionaries near and far;
a treasure, a gift, a pride of every culture.
Their smiles and hard work reflect who they are,
amid some brickbats and adversaries around;
still their foundation remains as ever
equipped with values meant for all times.
