A GATHERING OF HEROES

<p>A GATHERING OF HEROES</p>
<p>Where are all my children -<br />
The blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh,<br />
The fruits of my dreams?<br />
Where are the saplings who drew strength from my roots?<br />
The flowers who bloomed from the dew of this land?<br />
They have sailed away with the wind,<br />
In the beaks of swallows<br />
Seeking warmth on distant shores.<br />
On the wings of eagles<br />
Daring to soar to boundless heights.</p>
<p>Come ye my children,<br />
Blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh,<br />
The sweet, ripened fruits of my dreams.<br />
Come ye from far and near,<br />
And hearken to my call.<br />
Come tell us of your triumphs.<br />
Celebrate your conquests,<br />
Bask in the glow of my pride.<br />
Then plant the seeds of your successes<br />
In the soil from which you sprang.<br />
And offer a share of your golden harvest.<br />
At the altar of a grateful Motherland.<br />
Come. Come.<br />
Come for a gathering of heroes.</p>
<p><span id="more-1"></span><br />
Nasaan ang mga anak ko -<br />
Dugo ng aking dugo, laman ng aking laman,<br />
Bunga ng aking mga pangarap?<br />
Nasaan ang puno na umusbong sa aking mga ugat?<br />
Ang bulaklak na namukadkad sa lupang tinamnan?<br />
Sila’y lumayo, naglayag sa hangin<br />
Sa bibig ng mga ibong hanap ay pagpupugaran,<br />
Sa pakpak ng mga agilang inaabot ang kalangitan.</p>
<p>Halina kayo, mga anak ko -<br />
Dugo ng aking dugo, laman ng aking laman,<br />
Matamis na bunga ng aking mga pangarap.<br />
Halina kayo mula sa malalayong dagat.<br />
Dinggin ang aking panawagan.<br />
Isalaysay ang inyong kadakilaan.<br />
Ipagbunyi ang talino’t gilas.<br />
Tanggapin ang aking parangal.<br />
At pagkatapos, magtanim ng binhi<br />
Ng inyong tagumpay<br />
Sa lupang inyong pinagmulan.<br />
At mag-alay ng bahagi ng gintong ani<br />
Sa dambana ng mahal na Inang Bayang.<br />
Halina. Halina.<br />
Halina kayo sa pagbabalik ng mga bayani.</p>
