Bernard F. Asuncion Poems

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.
...

All alone in the dark,
Let the light shine on you;
Arrange the ruined dreams
With color crimson far from blue.
...

A-nother page is turned,
N-ew dawn breaks in first December;
G-od's blessings never run dry,
E-ver-flowing like a river.
...

Rain falling in torrents
Elevate the flood in some places;
Making men run for safety,
Echoes of fear leave traces.
...

Make your faith firm in rough sea,
And let your hope be afloat;
Let love abound in your life,
In spite of the storm rocking your boat.
...

Bride and groom of a lifetime,
they are no longer two but one;
Union under matrimony
is finally made and done.
...
