Bernard F. Asuncion Poems

R-eader
O-f
D-edication
E-njoys
...

Z-ealously nurture the lamb,
E-ncourage the young sheep;
L-et him gradually grow strong,
I-nculcate the true faith to keep.
...

M-ark my whispered word
A-bout the dawn that will break;
E-xpect the light will shine to take away your ache.
...

F-eel the warmth of the sun,
H-ide not from his light;
E-very third October morn, your birthday shall be bright.
...

R-ise up from the bed
O-ctober third early day;
N-ew dawn has broken
A-fter the night fades away.
...

S-poradic
P-andemic
I-s
K-illing
...

A-ccept my nuptial regards,
S-avor my best wishes in acrostic;
E-njoy the annual expression,
R-emember not the pandemic.
...

My umbrella's my mother,
My raincoat is my father
In my life's rainy weather.
...

H-ave the wings of an eagle,
A-s you soar up high;
N-ever clip each of them,
N-ice to reach the bright sky.
...

N-ew York March twenty-first
O-ffers a medical Tuesday;
L-et the injury turn
I-nto a healing way.
...
