The Philippines: A Gem That Endures And Protects Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
The Philippines: A Gem That Endures And Protects
You were hailed
As the Pearl of the Orient Seas
A precious gem
That never ceases to amaze.
Everyone took cognizance
Of your magnetic beauty
Yet exploited
Your naivety.
Through hard work
And ingenuity
You are soaring
Far and high
Like the Bird King
In the endless blue sky.
You made a safe nest
Of your own and children
Ensure their well being
From cradle to grave
A promise of a life
That is bountiful
And beautiful.
Behold my Motherland, The Philippines!
She will come to your side
To embrace and commend
Your righteousness
Takes her whip to penalize
Expunge your wickedness
And to overthrow all forms
Of ignorance, corruption
And oppression.
A cradle of warmth and beauty
The calm water that soothes the body
The gentle wind that caresses the face
The flower bud that blooms ahead of the others
The bird that sings unceasingly
And
The teardrop that falls in the sea
To become the biggest Pearl Of All.

This Asian country with a unique blend of the orient and the occident in culture and customs is fast emerging as a powerful country! Comprising a number of islands, it stays as a pearl studded necklace in the Pacific! I understand that the people here are in general educated, God fearing and mild! (1)
