Poems from across the migrant community

Colorful sheets of paper in red, orange, yellow, green, and teal arranged vertically.
Colored background vertical from folded paper material. Top view, flat lay.

Ang buhay natin ay parang isang papel. 

Minsan may kulay, kayganda sa paningin. 

Minsan puti lang, naghihintay makulayan. 

Ang ating buhay ay may papel sa mundong ibabaw. 

Papel na minsan ay blangko, madalas makulay. 

Mga iba’t-ibang kulay sa larangan ng karanasan,kasanayan at iba pa. 

May papel na importante at may tinatapon lamang. 

Tulad ng ibang may akda ng buhay… importante o patapon lamang. 

Anong klase ng papel ang buhay mo? 

Ako’y nagtatanong lamang aking kaibigan.

Isang dumidilig na parol na may ningning sa dilim.

I know your pain 

Emotions you contain 

Decisiveness you’ve restrain 

Dreadfulness remains

I know how it feels 

Existing in darkness full of fears 

Others may think it isn’t real 

Devastations hard to deal 

Life’s not constant it may not be instant 

But hope lies no distant 

Tomorrow might be pleasant 

Today won’t last 

Your sufferings will pass 

You can then utter “oh at last” 

Darkness you surpass
