Heal Our Land Poem by Meggie Gultiano

Heal Our Land



They say it is the land of promise..Mindanao
The land of beautiful people
The land of dreams, hope and faith

Now it 's gone..the promise..
Now it's war torn, of children crying
orphaned, untimely deaths..of bloodshed

What can i do to help?
what can we share to lessen the hurts?
Who can help us in this strife?

My heart bleeds for them..
I came from this place of promise
And now..it's gone..gone..

If only we bow down and humble ourselves
Humble ourselves and pray
God in His goodness and loving care
Will listen to our cries and will HEAL OUR LAND

And my prayers will be
Let there be peace in Mindanao
Let there be joy in our hearts

Let the children play
Let there be freedom, voice to be heard
Let there be peace from within.

Yes Meggie, May there be peace in Mindanao. May there be no more killings, no more untimely deaths, no more displaced children, and families. I am not from Mindanao but my roots are. And even if i have never been there, i fervently pray, MAY THERE BE PEACE IN MINDANAO, a part of my motherland. GOD BLESS.

Then with you like Tagore I would say, 'Into that Heaven of freedom my Father Let my land awake.' CP

'The land of promise...Mindanao, the land of beautiful people, the land of dreams, hope'. Oh! let your heartfelt pleas be heard Meggie as I can feel the emotion and power in your words. Let the energy of your prayers reach where it is needed most. Like Sandra, I too share your prayer and each night before I sleep I will pray for peace and love to return to the gentle people of your land. love Karin
