Across the miles,
we carry home in our hearts,
From bustling cities to the quietest shores.
On Labour Day honoured are —
The New Heros opening future doors.
With hands that build
and hearts that care,
We brave the cold and the stinging salt,
Offering every silent, whispered prayer,
To lift our families without a fault.
Though oceans wide keep us apart today,
Our courage shines, a steady, guiding light.
To every OFW, I proudly say:
Happy Labour Day! Stay brave and bright.
For every sacrifice and tear you’ve shed,
A better world for those we love lies ahead
Gloria Ruiz
