Sa Kabilang Pampang
Kay tagal mong hinabi ang daan patungo sa kabilang pampang,
Ragasa at hampas ng malalaking alon iyong sinalungat.
Sa murang pag-iisip,nagpunyagi ka at nagsumikap,
Sadyang mapang-akit ang tawag ng dayuhang dalampasigan.
Ang mga ibon, mataas, mabilis ang pag-lipad,
Nag-uunahan sa pagdagit ng uod-lupa
ng may mai-alay sa mga inakay.
Ang alupihan, pagapang, mabagal ang pag-usad,
Hindi man naakit ay nais din pumaroon sa kabilang pampang.

***************************************
That is a poem I wrote when I was still in the Philippines. Like many others, I also dreamt of going abroad. People want to migrate out of the country for different reasons.Some with heavy hearts. But to them, going out of the country is just a temporary thing. They still love their motherland and someday they would fly back to her waiting arms.-------#

Salute to SDA for these beautiful poem that most of us in real life made it out to the kabilang pampang.
