This Lady I know
I know of this lady,
Dealt with alot,
Dealt with a big break-up; a separation
Dealt with Riots and fights,
Yet she held it through all,
Today she still stands tall
I know of this lady,
She use to have many uncertainties ,
She was not liked by some of her neighbours,
She knew there was talk behind her back, talk of even an attack
Yet she held it thorugh all,
Today she still stands tall
I know of this lady,
People thought of her as inadequate,
People thought alone,she would not make it,
People thought she would soon crumble and admit defeat,
Yet she held it through all,
Today she still stands tall
I know of this lady,
She slowly began to grow in wealth,
She found some help,
She knew many people still judged her
She knew many people criticized her,
Yet she held it through all,
Today she still stands tall
I know of this lady,
Who became prosperous,
Who became illustrious,
Who became marvelous,
Because she held it through all,
Is why today she still stands tall
I know of this lady,
She will soon be forty-three,
She is full of kindness
She is full of galore,
She is the lovely;
Singaporeans We Are
All of us exclaim with glee,
For every year she gets older,
Every year we get closer,
After all these years we are still united,
Still we stand strong and undivided,
When we are together,
Nothing else matters,
Not religion nor race,
Not language nor face,
We are together under our flag,
Reed, white, Crescent, stars, all that,
They call us the lion city,
We are known as green and leafy,
Clean as can be,
So much to see,
Though we may be small,
On the world stage we stand tall,
The old and the knew are equally important,
Be it the Singapore Flyer or the Merlion,
For all those are just symbols,
Objects that are meant to enable,
But what matters the most,
Is that we all remain close,
For when you are alone in the dark,
Look up and see the stars,
Then you will know; Singaporeans we are
Insert your own picture. Write something about yourself.
