The Spirit of Bohol 🇵🇭 (Poetry).

1 min readJul 16, 2019

Imagination is life precious’s gift.

Whatever you imagined could be.

Sitting on a sandy beach after the storm,

watching the wave offshore in Bohol.

“Maganda Umaga,” was the word from a princess.

Retirement came too fast.

I was young and dreamt it.

Because dreams are what,

true men are made off.

This paradise is beautiful,

and I can’t get my gaze off.

Never knew that what I have lost

all my youth years had been found in Bohol.

Boating was another thing;

swimming became a habit.

Giving to the less privileged kids of the

Philippines became life’s new calling.

I am blessed to have grown up in the West.

Here kids are born with less but are complacent

with the little they have.

This is the Spirit of Bohol.
