Where is the Patis? by Carmen Guerrero-Nakpil

In foreign lands, we wander and roam,

Our hearts and souls, a world away from home.
With every step, a story unfolds,
A tale of strength, of spirit, of gold.

We carry with us, a heritage grand,

A culture rich, a people strong and bland.
Our language, a melody of love,
A symphony of hearts, from above.

Our skin, a canvas of history's hue,

A tapestry of dreams, a work anew.
Our eyes, windows to the world's delight,
A reflection of the beauty in sight.

In foreign lands, we find our way,

With every step, a brighter day.
We adapt, we learn, we grow and thrive,
A testament to the Filipino's drive.

We keep our traditions, alive and well,

Our customs, a beacon to tell.
Of home, of love, of family and pride,
A Filipino heart, forever inside.
