Malaybalay

This melancholy
Loveliness that one can spy
As peaceful drones fly

Trees they seem to sigh
The fair mountains kiss the sky
As cool raindrops cry

Apple of the eye
Sweetest fruit to see must try
Beautiful for aye

None but fields are nigh
Never far a friend nearby
No bond may untie

Feastings turned awry
Golden showers may not lie
That we too shall die

Grim reality
We so often misapply
Yet cannot deny

My eyes are not dry
For glad tidings why came I
To Malaybalay
