Prayer When Facing a Crisis

 

Oh Father God, I am facing a crisis

Help me be patient with this

Be with me please

 

Oh Jesus Christ, I am facing a crisis

Help me overcome this

Be with me please

 

Oh Holy Spirit, I am facing a crisis

Help me learn from this

Be with me please!

Prayer When Faith Fails

                                                                                     

Oh Father God, my faith fails

My belief in You weakens

I’m overpowered by omens

 

Oh Jesus Christ, my faith fails

Disasters I see everywhere

It seems You are nowhere

 

Oh Holy Spirit, my faith fails

Fear and doubt are swallowing me

Do not detach me from Thee!

Prayer When Friends Fail

 

Oh Father God, my friends fail

One by one they are gone

To them I can’t anymore run

 

Oh Jesus Christ, my friends fail

Even those who I’ve always been

Now can hardly be seen

 

Oh Holy Spirit, my friends fail

Goad them back with Your wings

I’m waiting for their comings!

Legasiya sg mga Pilipino

 

Aton sa liwat handurawon

Ang isa ka maragtason nga tini-on

Tini-on kon sa diin naghugpong kita

Agud tapuson ang diktadurya

Diktadurya nga sa aton nagpamigos

Naghatag sg kahadlok kg pag-antos

Gamit ang kamot nga salsalon

Mga krony naghari sa gobierno naton

Ang kahilwayan sa pagpahayag

Hinali nga natiphag

Naglala ang komunismo kg terorismo

Kg pagbayular sg kinamatarong sg tawo

Gani kita nagsinggit sa mga dalan

Nga ang gobierno dapat na islan

Kg sang ginpatay si Ninoy Aquino

Kg sang sa Sanap Election kita ginunto

Minilyon nga mga tawo naghugpong sa EDSA

Kg nagsinggitan nga “Tama na! Sobra na!”

Sa tunga sg mga soldado kg tangke

Imol, manggaranon, babayi, lalaki, estudyante, mga madre

Matawag ini nga isa ka mirakulo

Kay wala sg gamo kg nag-agay nga dugo

Isa ini ka rebolusyon nga mahidaeton

Inspirasyon sg tanan nga mga nasyon

Amo ini ang legasiya sg mga Pilipino

Nga dapat ipabugal sa tanan nga tawo!

Prayer When Leaving Home

 

Oh God, I am leaving home

To some place I’m going to roam

Be my guard while I am away

My safety & well-being to You I lay

Let my venture be successful

Let my journey be meaningful

Be still with me when I come back

I hope I can bring home a lot of luck!

Prayer When Lonely

 

Oh God, I am lonely

Behold! No one is with me

To me there’s no more friend

Who are You going to send…

To share with my grief?

To grant me some relief?

If there’s no one to accompany me

Just let me be with Thee!

Prayer When Needing God’s Protection

 

Oh Father God, I am needing God’s protection

Against those who seek my life

From those who cast me strife

 

Oh Jesus Christ, I am needing God’s protection

Look how vulnerable I am

To perditions that may come

 

Oh Holy Spirit, I am needing God’s protection

With Your wings me You cover

My persecutors You make cower!

My 41^st Leaf

 

Removed thee from twig

That is not so big

If closely observed

It’s stylishly curved

Unfamiliar one!

 

A Nuk-Nuk owns thee

Not able to see

I am with classmates

Enriching our faiths

We’re with our teachers

 

From beach I’ve just been

Where sunrise I’ve seen

Beautiful morning

So fresh everything

Ninth day of third month

 

On Baybay seaside

Domicile beside

On landscape simple

Ad mired by nimble

Adjacent to porch

 

It’s our Retreat Day

This pretty Sunday

MAT Soc. Sci.

This moment we’re nigh

As Filamerians!

Prayer for My 2 Dead Students

 

I pray for the soul of my student, Ariel

And also for the soul of my student, Johndel

The first one died of hit-and-run

The second one died of a bullet of gun

I pray that they both obtain justice

I pray that they both rest in peace!

Prayer Poem to St. Expeditius

 

Oh St. Expeditius!

Our Intrams patron in highschool fourth year

Look at me again who is here

Now we have a common enemy

That is tomorrow of uncertainty

Rescue me before I fall

I don’t want to stumble infront of all

Show to those who await my demise

That by God’s will I shall arise!

My 42^nd Leaf

 

Taken thee at noon

From a living plant

Ornamental one

With pale green flowers

It’s a “euphorbia”!

 

By RRCY

A Rehab for Youth

Maybe by lads there

Or an employee

Or social worker

 

About to enter

Their room for lecture

For orientation

Eleven Twenty

Before the lunch break

 

On fence of entrance

To the lecture room

Alongwith other

Ornamental plants

It’s in Guimaras

 

On field trip again

But first time in there

With Crim. 2 students

A new experience

With peculiar pipz!

My 43^rd Leaf

 

Removed thee from tree

It’s sturdy and tall

I think not native

Looks familiar but

Do not know its name

 

By the Trappist monks

Who live by in there

Or just a planter

Folk or foreigner

Don’t know who planted

 

About to enter

The souvenir shop

Where we bought some goods

About 3 o’clock

On way to the wharf

 

Just in front the shop

Selling souvenirs

Foods and rosaries

Decors and softdrinks

A monastery

 

On field trip again

But first time in there

With Crim. 2 students

A new experience

That I should treasure!

Short Prayer of Repentance

 

Lord God, please forgive all my sins

Whatever are their means

Whatever are their effects

Do not bring me ill hex

I am sincerely sorry

For having offended Thee!

Sa ti-on sg amon pag-antos.

My 44^th Leaf

 

Taken thee at dawn

Sticking from the trunk

Not leaf of that tree

But sort of a vine

That’s unfamiliar

 

By Villareal

Wealthy family

In Capiz province

Maybe by worker

Or their gardener

 

While four boy shower

About 6 AM

Sun has just risen

Sky has just brighten

September Eighteen

 

Tree infront shower

Also facing pool

Seems like a resort

But mainly for sports

In city’s stadium

 

A rare adventure

In InterCapSU

By 12 of us from

CapSU-Dumarao

Exhilirating!

Ikaw Sa Guihapon!

 

70 anyos ka don gakabuhi

Sugod sang mabun-ag diri tubtob nagradwar sa UP

Halin sang magkapamilya asta sa pulitika ginpili

 

43 ka tuig ka don nga pulitiko

Nagserbisyo sg mayo kg wala eskandalo

Ang ngalan malimpyo kg palangga sg tawo

 

32 anyos don ang buluthuan nga imo ginpatindog

Ang CapSU-Dumarao nga padayon nagapanikasog

Madamo na ka beses nga ginbagyo kg ginlinog

 

20 ka gobernador na sang ikaw magpungko

Ugaling ikaw guid ang may nabuligan sg damo

Gani para sa akon ikaw ang “Kampeon sg mga Capizeño”

 

13 ka president don ang imo naagyan

Sugod sa ti-on sg ikaduha nga digmaan

Asta sa ti-on sg tadlong nga dalan

 

2 na ang binalaybay nga halad ko sa imo

Kay ikaw indi guid madula sa akon painu-ino

Gob. Tanco, ikaw sa guihapon ang akon idolo!

 

1 duman ini ka maragtason nga ti-on

Kay ang Amay sg CapSU-Dumarao ara sa guihapon

Nagbuylog kg nagtambong sa amon pagtililipon!

Ang Sumpa at Basbas

 

Sasaktan din ang sa iyo’y mananakit

Palulungkutin din ang sa iyo’y magpapalungkot

Gagalitin din ang sa iyo’y magpapagalit

Tatakutin di ang sa iyo’y mananakot!

Pagbawi sa Sumpa

 

Mga limang minute matapos bawiin ang sumpa

Nang i-post ito sa Facebook at may nakakita

Umulan nang kaunti sa bayan ng Dumarao

Upang ang  sumpa ay ganap nang matunaw.

Araw ni Santa Muerte

 

                                 Ngayon ay Araw ni Santa Muerte, Diosa ng Kamatayan

Isang makapangyarihang nilalang na nakilala kamakailan

Siya’y pinaniniwalaan ng mga isinumpa

Sa iba siya’y demonyo, sa iba siya’y santa.

Pananampalataya sa Kamatayan

 

Ang taong nagdurusa at nahihirapan

Pipiliin ang landas ng kamatayan

Kamatayan na sa kanya ay magpapalaya

Ito ay isang uri ng biyaya.
