Neither Mom Nor Child Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

Mister Dan and his family members
Had a seven-day restful vacation;
They went to the beach in Balingasay,
To feel the beauty of the blue ocean.

Many travelers spent the days with fun,
Taking fine pictures, building sand castles;
Parents and children swam in the vast sea,
Tourists took a walk as they picked some shells.

Mister Dan witnessed an emergency,
So did the alert and quick life-savers;
Mother and her child were carried away
By the angry waves in open waters.

The happiness turned into utter fear,
Because the nature became odd and wild;
People cried for help beneath the heaven,
Mister Dan had saved neither mom nor child.
