Gourd of Friendship

The Gourd of Friendship

 Where is the Curiousity we’ve lost in Discovery?

Where is the Discovery we’ve lost in Knowledge?

Where is the knowledge we’ve lost in communication?

Where is the communication we’ve lost in mass media?

Where is the message we’ve lost in medium?
And where is the community we’ve lost in all these?

It is easy to go to the moon:

There: there are no people

It is easy to count the stars:

They will not complain.

But the road to your neighbor’s heart-

Who has surveyed it?

The formula to your brother’s head-

Who has devised it?

The GOURD that doesn’t spill-friendship

And whose garden has it ever grown?

You will never know despair

Until you’ve lost hope:

You never know your aspiration

Until you’ve seen others disillusionment.

Peace resides in the heart of men

Not at conference tables and delegates signatures;

True Friendship never dies-

It grows stronger 

The more it is tested. 

Parang kaming lima…

Our friendship grows stronger the more it is tested!!

hindi pa isinisilang ang taong makakapag-hiwalay sa aming lima!!

Friends Forever!!
