A Birthday Poem for Tita Cory
Angelica Yang, 13 years old
Immaculate Conception Academy
San Juan City

There are no words to describe this victory
For our eyes could only see
The pain, the betrayals and misery
And the only one who saw hope was Cory

Yes! She defeated them all
She did not stop, she did not stall
She listened to God’s triumphant call
To be faithful, stay strong and stand tall

She gave us back when we always yearned
In the 1986 EDSA Revolution we have all learned
How to fight and defend till the end
And that our unity can never be bent

We should stand up for what is really right
To not let our freedom be out of our sight
Thank you, Tita Cory, for your courage
We will forever remember you, we promise!

Long live Cory Aquino! Her spirit lives in us forever.
