Farewell Philippine Rose, Poem for President Cory Aquino

Farewell Philippine Rose

Farewell Philippine Rose,
The nation mourns over your death
Your flocks of sheep weep and lament
Because they lose a good sheperd

Farewell Philippine Rose,
Mother of democracy, defender of peace,
champion of rights, guardian of peace,
light of the nation, pillar of strength.

Farewell Philippine Rose,
Your flowers never whither,
Faith, fairness, honesty,
courtesy,courage and simplicity.

Farewell Philippine Rose,
Forever you will be in our hearts
Farewell Philippine Rose
Farewell and thank you.
