Here is a poem I wrote on the Filipina Maiden during my “innocent” years, when I was 15 years old. Gosh! that was more than 30 years ago! Now, the Filipina Maiden has become The Sexy Mom.
The Filipina Maiden
She is a picture of simplicity and beauty
The typical girl of our new society
She possesses oriental features and means
Showing that she comes from the Philippines.
She wears an impressionistic smile on her face
Her eyes glitter as she is full of grace
Everyone says that she is sweet and authentic
As she delights them with her soft music.She enjoys sports that fit her capability
Arts and sciences make up her ability
She shows modesty and talent in her ways
Her devotion to the church make up her days.She is ready to defend her country with pride
With courage, readiness and love to confide
She follows her country’s principles and laws
And supports the objectives the government shows.The Filipina Maiden is a true lover
For she is always ready to sacrifice for the other
She is faithful to her chores and duties
And seeks what is fit–which is justice.
