Just Like the Molave

from:

Like the Molave

(Excerpt)

Rafael Zulueta Da Costa

Just like the  molave

Strong in its own fiber; yes, like the molave!

Sprung from a strong race

Breathed to existence

Through God’s grace

Strong in its own fiber; yes, like the molave!

Wind may bend but can never break

Ready to face whatever it may take

Strong in its own fiber; yes, like the molave!

Life may be harsh and cruel sometimes

Know that everything is to make you sublime

 make you firm and rigid

Strong in its own fiber; yes, like the molave!

Just be true to others and especially to you

Love life and never be so blue

You may want to breakdown but never give up

You are stronger than what you think; stand up!

Have faith be bold acquire strength

 Be Strong in your own fiber; yes, like the molave!
