MEMORIES, ETCHED IN MY MIND AND SOUL
LIKE JAZZY MELODY IN SOLITUDE I CAN RECALL
MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS PORTRAYED IN EVERY SONG
SO AS RED ROSES AND THEIR PRICKLY THORNS.

WATERFALLS AND STREAMS CRYSTAL CLEAR AS MY TEARS
CRICKET AND BIRD SOUNDS ARE MUSIC TO MY EARS
VIVID IMAGES IN MY DREAM THERE APPEAR
HEAVENLY HYMN ECHOES IN MY DEEP SLUMBER.

A MIRACULOUS CAVE UPON THE MOUNTAIN RIDGE
PRAYERS ARE SAID TO FULFILL YOUR DREAMS
IN THE DARKEST NIGHT, A "REY" OF LIGHT WILL BEAM
HAPLESS FACES WITH SUFFERINGS REDEEMED.

RIVERS AND BLUE SEA BELOW THE BLUE YONDER
JOINING IN WIDE EXPANSE, VARYING CREATURES UNDER
WAVES RUSHING BACK TO THE RADIANT SHORE
IN TOUCH WITH THE PEBBLES AND SHELLS TO ITS CORE.

WHEN RAINDROPS FALL AND TOUCH THE RAGING SEA
BUBBLES & RIPPLES ROLL AS FAR AS I CAN SEE
MINGLES WITH THE WAVES UP TO THE DARK HORIZON
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES 'TILL THE BREAK OF DAWN.

HERE IS AN ISLAND WITH PRECIOUS GEMS
SHINING FROM AFAR ITS DISTANT KINS
GLEAMING HEARTS OF GOLD AND LAURELS ON THEIR HEADS
WILLING TO SHARE THEIR ACCOMPLISHED DREAMS.

M.I.ON IT, AM I IN IT?

FROM COAST TO COAST AND ACROSS THE MIGHTY FALLS
KEEP THE STREAM FLOWING WHEN DUTY CALLS
THE TWINKLE IN THEIR EYES SEEING A-"REY" OF LIGHTS
THIS GROUP OF OURS IS TAKING ITS PATH JUST RIGHT

INITIATIVES TO MAKE AND GOALS TO MEET
"OUR MISSION IS TO HELP,TOGETHER WE WILL SUCCEED".
SO IT WAS WRITTEN AND SO MUCH HAS BEEN DONE
BUT NOT ENOUGH TO STOP-NOT UNTIL WE ARE GONE!!!

Rey mentioned that his inspirations are: Mother, Corazon, Wife, Amor, and Children:
Melody, Crystal and Jazmyne, Beloved Province, Marinduque and M.I.,Inc.

Thank you Rey for your submission!
