"Ang Maging Magulang" Pag-irog nilang inihaplos ay hindi kailanman pabalat Kung bubuksang kanilang libro'y laman ay may lalim at bigat Di sila literal na nagsulat, di gumamit ng lapis Ngunit inukit nilang kasaysaya'y di mapara ang kawangis Pagod na mata'y pilit nilang minumulat Pagkarinig ng uha, agad titignan kung ano ang ating sugat Mag-aabot nang panyo tuwing tayo'y pinapawisan Magbibigay aral upang mapunan ating kamusmusan Sa di mabilang na paghalik ng alon sa buhangin Mga aral na ipinunla sa ati'y tila nahugot ng hangin Kakayahan nila'y mayroon ding hangganan May mga bagay talaga na di nila kayang mapunan Mga kahilingan nating minsang imposible Imbes umintinde, iisiping pangarap nati'y napaslang at sila ang responsable Nagmarunong tayo dahil naging palasagot Nagmagaling nag-astang di nangangailangan ng gamot Sa mabilis na pagpapalitan ng araw at ng buwan Dumating ang panahong ating pinagsisihan Kakatwa minsang isipin kung kailan daan nila'y masimula nating matahak Doon lamang natin naunawa ang halaga ng isinulat nilang aklat 06-04-2015 2:05 PM "To Be A Parent" The love they've rubbed is never only a cover If we open their books it contents depth and weight They didn't literally write, they've never used a pen But what historically they've written can't be compare Tired eyes they've hurriedly open Upon hearing the child's cry, they'll look for our wound To give handkerchief when we are sweaty To teach us to fill our space of innocence As countless waves kiss the sand The lesson they've planted to us seems uprooted by air Their ability has also a limit There are definitely things that they cannot fill Our sometimes impossible request Instead to understand, thinks our dreams were killed and the reason was them We think we are wise, that's why we've always answered them We think we are great, that we don't need any medicine As the sun and the moon quickly interchanged Time came that we've regretted It's odd to thinks sometimes when we had gone their way Only then we've understood the value of their book...
