Rose From The Ranks Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

R-ose from the ranks,
O-vertook as the night fell;
S-uccess you did achieve,
A-ttaining a higher level.
L-ow position you once held
I-s elevated to the next;
N-ew function you fulfill,
D-ivine duty that you
A-nnex.

C-limbed the tree of triumph
A-scending in ecstasy;
L-ife's destiny is written,
E-nding up in victory.
R-ose from the ranks, took every step to improve;
A-dvanced through the grades, accelerating your move.

B-oosted and highly headed
I-nto another promotion;
N-ever ever did you boast,
U-nder the break of dawn.
Y-es, on sixteenth September she remains in member's phalanx;
A-ccept the well versed woman who rose from the ranks.
