Life
by Ma. Charito R. Cruz
To live each day with gratitude
To spend each moment with grace;
To ease one’s pain and not to feel blue
To take a break from doing mundane things
And not to miss the boat as we tread this path called life---
This is what living is all about.

Recess
by Ma. Charito R. Cruz
The bells chime, chime…
It’s already quarter past nine----
Let’s go to the school canteen, oh, fine;
Let’s have a break; it’s about time!

River flow
by Ma. Charito R. Cruz
Flow, flow, glide, smooth and slow
Slow down, slowly flow
Right down, down below.
The water in the river smoothly flow
As it glides slowly down below
It tells of wondrous tale as it glows
Sparkling downstream beneath the sun, it aglow
As it slowly glides around the bend
It speaks of my heart’s yearning to make amend
For anyone who has been hurt, let’s send
A note of forgiveness; our helping hands, let us lend!

Rain
by Ma. Charito R. Cruz
As the raindrops keep tumbling down,
Now, around here and far beyond---
My heart’s content spills away…
Swiftly turns into joys
My thoughts of you in daytime blue
Splash, splash, splash, it seems to say
Encouraging me to be happy and gay! __________________
Coming Home
by Ma. Charito R. Cruz
The morning is crisp, undulated with joy…
The flowers sway with the wind
And suddenly, I’m home. __________________
