The Phillipines Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The Philippines

Oh Philippines
How lovely and looking fine
With sun going up in sky
To show the world and magnify

It is country of simple people
With known past struggle
Gifted with natural islands
And full of beautiful landscapes

I feel their simplicity
With touch of humanity
Normal behavior
With calmness and honor

I would love to be once
If ever afforded chance
I would love to see friends
And stay for quiet end

I have loved many persons
With close affinity and reasons
I have no words how to express!
But yes, I get smile on face

Such is country and its people
I am attached with simple triangle
I want to stay with them in their natural homes
T0 feel and witness real warm welcome
