My Prayer For Mary Wismer Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

My PRAYER FOR MARY WISMER
Melvin Banggollay

Salamat sa yong pagbati sa akin binibini
Ng makulay na pasko na puno ng pagsuyo
Mula sa kaibuturan ng puso mong kayumanggi
Maging ikaw may sa banyagang bayan humayo.

Ngunit sa bawat himaymay ng pusong nabighani
Sa yong tulang puno ng alab ng pagkapilipino
Kalungkutan sa puso ko'y sadyang naghahari
Dahil sa karamdamang nais kung talunin mo.

I desire to be with you that I can comfort thee
To sing you my love to take that pain away
But you're far and I could never be with thee
But let the wind whisper my prayer everyday.

MY PRAYER FOR MARY

Father in heaven, behold Mary I fervently pray
Take out all her pain with your heaven's mercy
Shower upon her your blessing of good life everyday
And the joy of serving thee with her humble way.

Keep her out of danger or from risk everyday
Make her stronger and healthy every moment I pray
For the world needs a woman like her to convey
The love of your heart and service to humanity.

Give her the strength of faith she needs everyday
To cling to thee and love you with all sincerity
And never let her think she's alone in her journey
For many souls wished her a life so long and happy.
