Up And Up Poem by Obed dela Cruz

Advancing in progress,
Destroying the hindrances,
Up and up we must go.
Development we must show.

Sometimes the quality
Must be heavier than the quantity.
From the mud and pit,
We must arise and let a light be lit.

Cling to what is true.
Have not, just because it’s new.
We must value importance.
We must have good guidance.

Good reports; we must have.
Bad reports; we must not love.
Earn learning.
Have the right thing.

The world is seeking
For good men to stop from ceasing.
The firm foundations that was laid
I cry, “IT MUST STAY! ”

Up and up we must go.
Growing must grow.
Leave behind the late-comers.
Have some wings and not just feathers.

Be brave enough
To strive so tough.
This planet is in great need
Of people who will do great deeds.

Love and care we must show.
Up and up we must go!
