They say it is the land of promise..Mindanao <br />The land of beautiful people <br />The land of dreams, hope and faith <br /> <br />Now it 's gone..the promise.. <br />Now it's war torn, of children crying <br />orphaned, untimely deaths..of bloodshed <br /> <br />What can i do to help? <br />what can we share to lessen the hurts? <br />Who can help us in this strife? <br /> <br />My heart bleeds for them.. <br />I came from this place of promise <br />And now..it's gone..gone.. <br /> <br />If only we bow down and humble ourselves <br />Humble ourselves and pray <br />God in His goodness and loving care <br />Will listen to our cries and will HEAL OUR LAND <br /> <br />And my prayers will be <br />Let there be peace in Mindanao <br />Let there be joy in our hearts <br /> <br />Let the children play <br />Let there be freedom, voice to be heard <br />Let there be peace from within.<br /><br />Meggie Gultiano<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heal-our-land/
