SAYUNARA EMMARUTH
FROM TNHS BATCH 86
BY MELVIN D. BANGGOLLAY

E-mmaruth is our beautiful batch mate
Whom we knew not so very articulate
Being timid and referring to emulate
The code of silence while she meditate

M-aruth was her favorite nickname
As she was fondly called by that name
But other called her ruth so truly tamed
A descent a woman with beauty's fame

M-aiden with an attitude so truly serene
As tranquil as her gentle eyes keen
While watching others with smiling chin
During activities that kept us rolling in.

A-t one time during our second year
Boys like me often wanted to declare
Our infatuations to someone out there
And when I told her, she pinched my ear
While Saying your so little for me my dear.

R-ight after our graduation in high school
We all parted ways to seek our future call
Where she ventured in other lands to stroll
To seek her own fate and kept her life roll

U-ntimely demised of your pale tender body
Lying before us in complete serenity
Reminded us that death is an inevitable reality
Of life we are all bound to return someday.

T-he footprints of your life will always remain
To the heart of those whom you ordained
To witness the beaty of your heart's claim
And the tenderness of your love you proclaimed.

H-ail to thee, o God of love and great mercy
Look upon with grace our batch mate today
As we all pray for you to take her soul away
And keep her in your kingdom till eternity.
