Shyane Roa Poem
In our city at night,
One can see glowing lights,
And many busy vehicles,
Slowly moving through the streets.
Delicious barbecues for dinner,
The sizzling sounds are such a winner,
The aroma of meat makes us hungry,
And we crave it all, tender and yummy.
In our city, you can wander,
And find sights that make you ponder,
The streets are safe and secure,
With the presence of authorities, for sure.
Nestled in the heart of Mindanao,
A city where bounty never stops to flow,
From durian, pomelo, to mango,
A foodie paradise, it's hard to let go.
Kidapawan is the name,
A city of fruits that has earned its fame,
Known for its tropical treats,
Where the flavors of sweet fruits can't be beat.
Kidapawan is a gem of a city,
With natural wonders and culture aplenty,
A destination worth your time and stay,
Come and experience Kidapawan today!

Shyane Roa Poem
Make your Own Way
Can you stand alone and be strong?
Can you make your choices all along?
I know you're full-grown and wise,
To make decisions that are nice."
But it seems like you’re not happy
Seeing someone’s victory
When others achieve and find success
You feel left behind and under duress
Imagine a horse racing in a game
It needs speed just to win
See how tired this kind of competition
If you depend on others situation.
Living in this world is not a race
And each one has their own unique pace
Comparing yourself will only bring pain
And hinder your progress, in vain
Don't envy others' achievements,
Because God gave us diverse talents.
Don't covet what other people have
Instead, salute them with all your heart.
A successful person doesn’t envy
But fashion his best effort and way
Let them be your inspiration
As you strive to fulfill your ambition

A Mentor's Inspiration
By: Shyane A. Roa
I stayed in your womb for nine months
You suffered difficulties every second
Your pregnancy stage was misery
But you were able to deliver me cautiously
Now you're raising me as a healthy baby,
Until I turned into a responsible lady.
You never forget to guide me,
In doing the right things every day.
Waking up early was your daily routine,
Just to organize my personal belongings.
Wherever I am, whatever I do,
You've always been with me to ensure my safety.
Mama, you're the master of every task,
Thank you for giving me all that I ask.
I always prayed to God to repay your kindness,
Fortunately, He quickly granted my wishes.
So, when God gave me the chance to pursue a degree,
I seized the opportunity to study diligently.
Because I knew it was your ambition,
That someday I'll be holding my degree in education.
Mama, now I'm standing with pride and honor,
For reaping the fruits of your labor.
I am now a licensed mentor,
Ready to teach the children with love and fervor.

The Hardest Goodbye
Goodbye is the hardest word for me
The line I hated to say
But I never wished to encounter this someday
Because I couldn’t imagine my life if you were away
But then time is so playful my dear
That one day you disappeared
No one knew where to find you
Until one day became a year
I felt crazy for keeping you searching
Because you left me with nothing
How I wish I had the power
To locate you anywhere
Hours, days, months and years passed
I was able to let go of my past
I accepted that the man I loved before
Is not Mr. Right nor my forever
Now, I have been able to move on
Facing life without you
I can now completely say
My hardest goodbye to you…….

Shyane Roa Poem
by: Shyane Roa
At school I am your second mom,
Keeping the classroom safe and calm.
A nanny when you need a hand,
Ready to help and understand.
Inside a room of many peers,
With different minds for me to steer,
I teach you through the busy day,
To help you learn, study and play.
But teaching you is not enough,
As many speak and act so tough.
The room is filled with noisy voices,
And chatter as the crowd rejoices.
I set up rules inside the class,
To make sure everyone can pass.
But when I scold for acting out,
The parents rage and start to shout.
Dear learners, do not feel upset,
My words are made with love, I bet.
Like Kiefer, who is my own son,
I want the best for everyone.
Dear parents, your child is like mine,
Together let us help them shine.
Through good guidance and discipline,
A strong child we can build within.

Shyane Roa Poem
SCULPTURED BY POORNESS
by Shyane A. Roa
One scratch, one peck as they fondly call me,
I am seen as nobody in the community
Yes, I am a beggar in the street
I am a woman who wears a dirty outfit
I work during the day and study at night
Hoping to have a future that was so bright
But the way I acted was unpleasant to many
They really hated my personality
Every day I am begging for food to live
I became a servant just to survive
No one can dim my clear and bright visions
Because this is me, with a strong determination
I can endure life, no matter how tough
Even they hated me I will continue my journey
Rejection is my inspiration
Obstacle is my key to build my ambition
As of now, it’s my dream to have my career,
I am proud that once I became a pauper,
Because I was molded to become resilient
And face life with joy and merriment
