...Robin Maynes composed this beautiful poem which was inspired by his trip to the Philippines...
...When The Rooster Began To Sing...
I awoke in a strange land where my words were not understood...
Where the night should be day and the day should be night...
And sweet dreams would arrive on time if they could.
With joy to be there but a cloak of despair sharing my thoughts like the sky holds the bird and its wing...
I opened my eyes and my ears and my heart...when the rooster began to sing.
Let me in to your strange world where my deeds speak of only good...
Where I call you my friend and my guide and my love...
And goodbyes say hello for life as they should.
I must leave you now but no words tell me how while I reach in my sad heart where but your name does ring...
I knew it was time to depart and I cried...when the rooster began to sing.
