FIRST LIGHT IN HEAVEN

I have seen thousands of beautiful morning
But this particular one certainly felt like Heaven
Because I was 20 thousand feet above sea level
The clouds were below me including the hills

As I felt the chilly air conditioned morning air
I could see from my window the noisy turbo propeller
While the sun struggled to give its first light
The thick dark clouds resisted with all their might

I was heading to the place called 'the land of promise'
Need to inspect some plant near the place of Ozamis
We landed in the international airport of Cagayan
After the business meeting we headed to Butuan

I only stayed in Butuan for one short night
I was heading back to Cebu in the next morning flight
But it was not easy knowing I'm just a bus away from home
I almost cancelled my flight to get a glimpse of Diatagon

But my wallet was lonely my ATM is empty
I have all the time but I have no money
So I boarded the plane feeling so lonely
Missing Diatagon all for me to see

Going back to Cebu I meet this personality
A guy looks like Andy Poe sitting next beside me
We chat for the entire flight sharing our lost dreams
That we'll go back to Mindanao one day rich and with fame

As I again witnessed the heavenly morning's first light
I realized I failed to reach my fancy dreams in life
But I was surprised I still wear a happy face
In Cebu waiting were my daughters' sweet embrace.
