Bernard F. Asuncion Poems

True happiness
Is not how rich men are;
One falls not into slumber, worrying
With much money, mansion and car.
...

Steady struggle with sin
Becomes big battlefield;
To emerge so victorious,
Preparation must be fulfilled.
...

Say sweet sincere statement,
Criticize not against another;
Don't ever tell sour words
Even to a new stranger.
...

Be the best that you can be,
Never stop to aim so high;
Nor cease to dream so big,
Reaching the star in the sky.
...

Let us put on humility,
Even being on center stage;
Remain meek and modest amid
Honor, glory, praise, and prestige.
...

Obey the Lord at all times,
Even when we're in trouble;
Worry not or feel stunned,
Never give up nor stumble.
...

Just set pen to paper,
When you are in sorrow;
Let your high emotion
Become calm, soft, and low.
...

S-ee
H-ow
E-arly
R-adiant
...

In brightest day, world peace is gained,
Compassionate heart heals the hurt;
The pain is eased wonderfully,
Pure love carries no grime nor dirt.
...

Too much pride will raze you,
It sure will crush your life;
You'll suffer sudden fall,
Cutting you like a knife.
...
