The Rising Dome

Where rice fields once stretched, a vision arose, A dome of grandeur where spirit bestows. The Philippine Arena, a monument bright, A beacon of hope in day and in night. From humble beginnings, a nation's strong hand, Raised up a marvel, a jewel in the land. Steel and concrete, a symphony grand, A stage for the people where dreams understand. In echoes of laughter and songs that take flight, A tapestry woven in shimmering light. From sports and from concerts to faith's gentle call, The Arena embraces and welcomes us all. A symbol of progress, a nation's bold stride, Where unity blossoms and passions reside. May its towering presence forever inspire, The hearts of Filipinos with burning desire. To reach for the heavens, to build and to soar, And find in its shadow a strength to adore. The Philippine Arena, a testament true, To what we can build when we dream and we do. ©bfa032925
