EDUCATION, THE BEST LEGACY
Melvin D. Banggollay

E-ducation is man's best legacy
God made equally for everybody;
A gift not only for the somebody
But even to those who are nobody.
D-escribe as the bridge of wisdom
We need to understand God's plan
And the wing that enable us to run
Against the call of time and beyond.
U-ntil only one has really strive to see
The need to learn things in any way
That he can have a better capacity
To behold life fulfilling opportunity.
C-an anyone have a clever tongue
When his mind has no substance
Or can one have a pen that glows
When he got no power to move.
A-lthough education doesn't guarantee
For man to have the high morality,
At least, it harness once personality
That begets respect and dignity
T-o seek for knowledge and skill
One must really strive to fill
Every night with eyes that chills
In searching for wisdom he drills
I-gnorance is a reward of a fool
whose heart never dares to stroll
Knowledge he needs to control
The weaknesses of his own soul.
O-ur mind is the temple of our power
To understand all that kept us wonder.
hence, empower our mind to ponder
Ways that helps us wisely discover.
N-ot like any other precious commodity
That can be taken or stolen away;
Education is the only man's legacy
He can take with him until eternity.
