Salute To Mar Roxas Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

SALUTE TO MAR ROXAS
Melvin Banggollay



M-ar Roxas, a senator of the State
Inspired with virtue to serve the senate
As a man of prudence and great faith
To God and our nation to lead our fate.

A-rm with an ardent love to serve
this nation amidst chaos and curves
he stood firm fighting what is right
for this nation's future to be bright

R-est his own desire for presidency
even He got the skill and popularity
Yet he node with pride and humility
for the better future of our country.



R-ighteous act for such humble man
Whose acts proved he was a noble man
wiling to forgo his own dream for the land
for the posterity of our great nation at hand.

O-ver his desire to run for the presidency
He gave way to insure brighter sovereinty;
A proof of his character and own calibacy
as a leader of this nation for natonal unity.

X-rayed his own desire out of the way
Only to open new hope and opportunity
for a new leader to lead our beloved country
to a better fate with renewed democracy.

A man you are so worthy for emulation
having the character of a true stateman
with humility to accept call of the nation
even others may call him a weak gentleman.

S-ure winner in the heart of the Filipinos
for such noble act to insure a better chance
for democracy to sail its flag with high hopes;
Indeed, you're a star glowing with abundance.


Dedicated to Senator Mar Roxas of the Philippine senate
