It is the heart of life
the force that erases
differences between people
bridges the splits of bitterness
the pot of gold
at the beginning
and at the end
of the rainbow
it springs the beauty
that bends across the sky
on a stormy days
the security for which
children weep
the yearning for Youth
the adhesive
that binds marriage
the lubricant
that prevents devastating
friction in the home
the safeguard
of community life
the beam of hope
in a world of distress
the peace of old age
the sunlight of hope
shining through the death
it is a gift from God
the most enduring
most powerful virtue: LOVE.

POLARIS NG BUHAY
Isa kang mamahaling hiyas na nakapulupot
Sa baywang ng sagradong balangaw
Ilaw mo’y liwanag ng malawak na kalangitan
Kumikinang kahit sa gitna ng karimlan
Tulay ka ng mga nasasawi’t nasasaktan
Pinapangarap ng mga taong nagmamahal
Ika’y langis na hahaplos sa lahat ng sigalot
Na namumutawi sa loob at labas ng tahanan
Matibay kang bantayog ng mabuting pamayanan
Taglay mo’y buhay at dakilang pag-asa
Para sa mundong puno ng hilahil at hinagpis
Ang ma-angkin ka Pag-ibig, ay samo ng bawat isa
‘Di matutularang regalong bigay ni Bathala
Ika’y makapangyarihan at walang katulad!
