Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
-HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW-
Today the Filipino nation bid their final goodbyes to the one and first ever woman president of our nation. A lot has been told about her--from her being a simple housewife to later on as the one responsible for the termination of the much clamored dictatorship that had been holding our country in paralyzed for a number of years. Former President Corazon Aquino had exuded the traits of what a leader should be. And no one can top that.
