SPECTRUM OF TONGUES

by: ROCHELLE ANN M. CASTILLO

A kaleidoscope of tongues, a vibrant shade

A song of unity, a foundation made.

In collective conversation, a dense crowd,

Filipino hearts grow, resilience endowed.

From a soft voice to anthem’s call,

A meaningful tale conveyed in ancestral wall.

Truth braids awaken every phrase,

A golden nation deepens in woven praise.

Across the myriad spectrum of gleams,

Woven through vibrant dreams.

There is a rich history in each term,

A country's heart, to preserve its firm.

The power of discourse, a mighty hand,

To forge a path for a peaceful land.

In the embrace of union, we ascend,

The prize of a nation, with every voice.

Because our heritage is in our tongue,

Under the heavens, a woven tapestry.

The colorful art of Bayanihan's call

A country's heart, never to be joined.

From silence, symphony sounds grew bold,

A retold legacy as future foretold.

Every utterance is a rekindled hope.

Vowed for all eternity, proud and free.

Allow each voice to merge harmoniously.

A lively, never-ending chorus.

Strength arises as truth finds its decree,

The spirit of Bayanihan, preserved for all time.

With language in common, both old and new,

A blazing light, yet hearts stay true.

Bayanihan's embrace, the promise rings,

Country’s heart lifted on language wings.
