PARENTS, PARTNER FOR A BETTER LIFE
By: Melvin D. Banggollay
P-arents, our trusted partners for better life
Whom we owe our breath with God’s delight;
Today, we salute them with heaven’s light
For nurturing us with their love so truly bright.
A-ll Mighty Father, I thank thee for blessing me
Parents whom I behold a love so heavenly
Whose prudent arms cradles me tenderly
In guiding me to be a man of honor and dignity
R-ight at this very moment my heart recites
With every beat my tender heart invites
My endless love for my loving mom and dad
Whom I offer my life and everything I ever had.
E-ven if I’ll be sown a million times again
In this great world God gave for mankind
I’ll ask God’s mercy upon your palm I’ll cling
For it is flowing with milk so truly nourishing.
N-ature may vanish in every verdant plain
Time may turn to silence deeds of noble men
But never my love for it shall always remain
Shinning even beyond the end of my being.
T-oday, I offer to you with pride and humility
This diploma symbolizing my ardent plea
To reach the pennacle of your dreams for thee
and be the man you want to become of me.
S-ound of victorious march I can only hear
If you keep on sharing the wanders of your cheer;
Show me then the magic of your loving hands
I need to sail in the sea of life and beyond.
