For what they have said
Regarding my tomorrow

Oh Father God, author of our life and death
Be with us in sickness and in health

*39th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Oh God, I’m always full of malice
Thinking that everyone’s ready to chastise
Without considering truth & justice

For I have sinned to the fullest
And failed all kinds of test
No one shall give me rest

That is why I need to be watchful
Because everyone can be vengeful
To the one who has been sinful

Oh God, away me from pestilence
And deliberate abhorrence
Give me care, give me prudence.

*My Morning Poems Collection…written on OLSI Foundation Day

1 Oh Lord, smelling Your presence
Strikes my inner feelings
Perceiving its magnificence
Fills me with positive tidings

2 Oh Lord, seeing your face
Glimmering with glory & honor
Catches my ardent gaze
While dazzling me with fervor

3 Oh Lord, having Your words
Makes my consciousness tremble
Like a sheep among herds
Giving momentum to assemble

4 Oh Lord, saying Your name
During my pain & distress
Takes away false fear & shame
But not on moments when I transgress

5 Oh Lord, touching Your manifest
Gives me strength & courage
When I am under a test
Facing concrete or abstract carnage

6 Oh Lord, I’m astounded looking at You
But uncomfortable with Your stare
Seems You’re watchful with all I do

7 Oh Lord, I’m ensnared listening to You
But elusive over Your eavesdropping
Lest You learn of a sin I do

8 Oh Lord, I’m inquisitive speaking with You
But cautious of my language
For it can reflect what I did, am doing & will do

9 Oh Lord, I’m delightful walking beside You
But suspicious if others are envious
Of course, it’s an amazing thing to do

10 Oh Lord, who is like me?
I’m proud like a celebrity!

11 Oh Lord, I traversed the road with pride
As if I can always make a great stride

12 Oh Lord, I never sensed the pitfall ahead
When from You, I turned away my head

13 Oh Lord, suddenly I’ve fallen!...condemned by women of Jerusalem!

Human body must be treated with respect
For through it we find the image of the Perfect

Our body’s a temple, the temple of God!

Sa Agri. ko lang naranasan ang makumbidahan
Sa piging ng isang dating mag-aaral dahil kanyang napasahan
Ang Board Exam na pinaghandaan

Sa Vet. Med. ko lang naranasan na balikan
Ang UPV Miagao na dati kong pinag-aralan
Nang ako’y sumama sa field trip nila sa pook na naturan

Sa mga taga-Computer ko lang naranasan pamalagian
Ang isang silid na dati nilang pinagkaklasehan
Parang Etheria na nasa gitna at ako ay isang Heran.

Still Yours alone is the lordship
As a king, they are symbols of Your reign!

*42nd Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet

Ako po’y katulad niyo na nangaral din lamang
At layong ituwid ang ilang mga hakbang
Ngunit panganib ang siyang umabang

Itinuring na sigalot ng iba
Naging masakit sa kanilang mga mata
Kaya aking mga hakbangin ay sinawata

Inihulog sa dagat na malalim
Kung saan pag-ahon ay marilim
Tuluyang bumulusok pailalim

Maaaring ako’y hindi na makaahon
Tuluyang igugupo upang maturan din ng leksiyon
‘Di narin mahahampas pa ng mga alon

Subalit habang nariyan po kayo
Ako’y nananalig at hihingi ng saklolo
Nawa’y mapakinggan at matulungan po ako!

Oh Poong Hesus Nazareno
Kahit ngayong Ikaw ay malayo
Kahit ako’y hindi mkapunta diyan sa Quiapo
Ako ay sa Iyo parin sumasamo
Ikaw na Siyang noon ay dinaingan ko
Ikaw na Siyang noon ay hinilingan ko
Na makatapos ako sa kolehiyo
Ikaw na Siyang mismong tinungo ko
Ikaw na Siyang mismong dinasalan ko
At duminig sa mga panalangin ko
Ako’y muling sumasamo sa Iyo
Tingnan Mo ngayon ang sitwasyon ko
Nasa alanganin na naman ang buhay ko
Walang kasiguruhan sa trabaho
Kinabukasang maganda ay malabo
Maawa Ka naman sa pamilya ko
Maawa Ka naman sa ibang tao
Sila ay matutulungan ko
Kapag dininig Mo ang samong ito
Kung ano ito ay alam Mo na po
Upang akin naring mabago
Ang nabubulok na buhay at pagkatao.

Oh Poong Santo Niño
Batid na batid Mo
Na simula pagkabata ko
Sumasamo na ako sa Iyo
Subalit bakit tinulutan Mo
Na ang buhay ko’y maging ganito
Punung-puno ng pagkatalo
Palaging malayo sa asenso
Palagi nalang nabibigo
Nagsusumikap naman ako
Wala paring pagbabago
Hanggang kailan Mo matatanto
Ang kalagayan kong ito
Kung Ikaw nga ay totoo
Dulutan Mo naman ako
Ng inaasam na pagkapanalo.

Now it was sunken
Unmoved like bedridden

During its loneliness

The seed experienced solace

Downwards creep the roots
Upwards grow the shoots
Alongside carabao boots
Hope not to be crushed by coots.
