you were destined to be the city
of my birth and of my youth;
in your bosom it was a pattern of
hopeless search for answers and
meaning and purpose and
that
elusive glorious Truth.
you were the milieu to
every joy and every pain,
every triumph and every loss,
every laughter and every tear,
every rejection and every acceptance
from people i held dear.
on your soil i learned precious lessons
on loving and being loved,
on giving and receiving,
on rising and falling,
on finding and losing,
on living and dying.
you were the city of my
thousand dreams unfulfilled,
my hopes shattered and yet
deep within, promises persisting,
deep within, my heart joyously
waiting for their fulfilling.
hello... goodbye,
my batangas, for a while;
life goes on, let time fly.
goodbye... hello,
who knows whatever God wills
for today or the morrow?
