You and Me against the world
By Myrna P. Reblando
I
You and me against the world
Is an intense deep emotions
Inside my inner feelings
And my heart desires
Still, I do hope
Sweet victory
Will be ours in the end.
II
A true passion
A strong conviction,
For you and me, will promote
A good example
And an eye opener to all
Without any doubt
III
From the very start
Numerous circumstances contributes
In between the two of us but,
Perseverance; in spite of
Certain crushing difficulty
IV
No white lies, no honest mistakes
No contradictions, no degrading
But we stand for the truth
Not be proud of, but humble ourselves
Is the only weapon we have
V
Even though it’s not going too well
As of this moment,
But there’s a big possibility
To achieve a feat and to win
A great professional VICTORY!
