Gifts for the City

Along the wide span of sphere,

Roads that connect in to a sun;
Names of leaders have laid their mark,
From Garcia, Quirino and Quezon.

I walked slowly along the avenues

Thinking of thoughts to help this city, too
From menial tasks to heavy burdens be
I thought of sharing my gifts to see

Follow traffic rules in signage on the streets, please

Dispose Garbage made of paper, plastic and silts
Remember to clear the air of smog
By planting green and shrubs

Gifts as simple as a flower i can give

Simple thoughts to renew each life with a kiss
A person, a student or citizen
There are gifts we can give and share
