Bernard F. Asuncion Poems

J-anuary fourth early morn,
E-vening shadows are gone;
A-nother dawn is breaking,
N-ew day has just begun.
...

G-ood morning sunshine
L-ets the dawn break with glee;
A-iming to make a beautiful
D-ay of mirth and ecstasy.
...

M-idnight moon is gone
A-s the morn is breaking;
N-ew day dawns early
U-ntil the sun comes shining.
...

Meaningful life doesn't mean riches,
And wisdom or even fame,
Real happiness comes from
The inner peace that knows no shame.
...

Comes a time when you want to do
the things you don't want to;
At that moment you shall find the need
to make a choice is knocking on you.
...

J-ust open your mind and think
O-f the blessings that count;
N-ovember fifth day has brought
N-ew promise in large
...

Set your eyes on what lies ahead,
not on what you see around;
Undertake to learn things
teaching lessons that do abound.
...

Think and contemplate
About things that have gone wrong;
Learn from failures patiently,
Or even if it takes too long.
...

New day breaks after the night,
dawning as the sun is up;
Inviting the red beacon
to keep on rising and never stop.
...

Be firm, steadfast and strong,
Abounding in faith, hope, and love;
Get it on and redouble the effort,
striving for the prize from above.
...
