Gifts for the City
By Shirley Mary deLeon

Along the wide span of sphere
Roads that connect into a Sun
Names of leaders have laid their
mark
From Garcia, Quirino and Quezon

I walked slowly along the avenues
Thinking of thoughts to help this city,
too.
From menial task to heavy burdens be
I thought of sharing my gifts to see

Follow traffic rules in signage on
the streets, please
Dispose garbage made of paper,
plastic and silts
Remember to clear the air of smog
By planting green and shrubs

Gifts as simple as a flower I can give
Simple thoughts to renew each life with a kiss
A person, a student or a citizen
TheRe are gifts we can give and share.
