Where I’m From
Poetry
March 3, 2022
I came from the Garden that makes me relax
Surrounded by orchids, fortune plants, ti leaf, and yellow taps
I came from the Office doing my homework
English, history, math, science, now my head is ready to pop like a cork
I came from the Living room, lying on a couch
Television, coffee table, and lamp shade, they all make me slouch
I’m from a piano, playing beautiful music
Melodious rhythm, religiously therapeutic
I’m from the team of athletes
Basketball, table tennis, and badminton that beat the heat
I’m from the social media
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, all multimedia
I came from the word of God, the Bible
Preach the message, oh, so wonderful
I came from Fiat Mihi Secundum Verbum Tuum
Let it be done unto me according to thy word
I came from Corinthians 1:13 where I patiently waiting for someone
Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, my life has begun,
I came from Our Lady of Charity
Guides my province with sincerity
I came from San Pedro Calungsol and San Lorenzo Ruiz
Saints of my dear country; they offered their life to God to be saved
from Apocalypse
I am from the Pearl of the Orient Sea
Beautiful islands that many want to see
I am from the Philippines
With unique ethnics, and magnificent scenes
I am from one nationality
A strong race, but with liberality
I am from two UNESCO World Heritage Sites
City of Vigan and Santa Maria Church, what a sight
I am from the sugar canes, suka, balikutsa, tagapulot, and basi
My loving town, Santa Maria,
A place where life is carefree
