Gifts for the City
Along the wide span of sphere
Roads that connect into a sun
Names of leaders have laid their mark
From Garcia, Quirino and Quezon
I walled slowly along the avenues
Thinking of thoughts to help this city, too
From menial tasks to heavy burdens be
I thought of sharing my gifts to see
Follow traffic rides in signage on the streets, please
Dispose garbage made of paper, plastic and silts
Remember to clear the air of smog
By plonting green and shrubs
Gifts as
as sinple as a flower I can give
Simple thoughts to renew each life with a kiss
A person, a student or a citizen
