.bem's Dormitory Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

(bachelor of evangelical ministry student's dormitory)

Here gathered young
eminent brave men,
raised from somewhere
crossed the miles, away from home

How happy they are
even though far
from their parent's embrace
even strangers to the pain of
struggling years
and melancholic nights,
they fix their eyes unto the Lord
begging for help, kneeling for mercy
shedding tears...........
for the triumph only God can give.

But, like the growing seeds
and climbing vines
reaching up to towering aims......
winds cross their way
rushing them
trying to vanish away

What mournful truth gives aching heart
some offspring here
no longer living
they were carried away
by the evil wind.........

here valiant men only can stay longer
with brave heart and soul
will be trained.............
combating the tempest and obstacles
to measure-up to well-built aims

Such mighty armors
worn by these men
weapons of hope
chained with faith are their
main heavenly force..........strenght from above

Then......time goes on
soon they will leave
into the realm they would go
not to make nation's roads
but to save souls
spreading the gospel of Truth!
