I am a Filipino, I come from islands rippled with sun.
Where days are green fires and nights are warm With moons and stars.
Girdling my loins is blood rich as milk For I was born of sultans, rajahs, kings,Soldiers and heroes who fought to sing The poetry of freedom.
My house is my land Virgin, brown, wombed out of loam, volcanic rock and shells.
Carpeted with rice, com, coconut, cane, trees That rise as temples to grapple winds, Rains, mighty rivers furrowing the earth.
I HOPE IT HELPS
