In shadowed ink, I carve my fate, On paper's breadth, my thoughts collate. With pencil's tip, my dreams translate, A tale of self and land innate. These lines I pen, a heartfelt chat, Of heritage and life’s format. In storied verse, I contemplate, The bond with nation, proud and great. Through valleys deep and mountains flat, Where tales of old and new combat, In Tagalog's voice, I celebrate, The spirit strong, none can abate. By paper and by pencil's pat, Our history calls, we navigate. In unity, we elevate, Our hearts as one, our hopeful state.
