The Mother-The Teacher Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Meticulous, she is
in details of structures and disciplines,
On the issue of mission
she is above all par-excellence
Thus, and rightly so -
she is the bride of Christ; the mother of all peoples,
However, honored by many; despised by some
she is the portrait of a live history;
Emblem of morality and spirituality -the cross
obscured though, by the world's egoistic view
Reality therefore,
she is the collaborator of God in His salvific act

... a-n-d...

Tenet of dogmas and doctrines
she is the renown
Epitome of the rise and fall
but esteemed in her witnessing role
Antagonist she seems-to-be
but for the little ones she is the blessing
Controversy may veil her face
she remains dignified and filled with life
Harsh, she is, at times
but to her children guided, by her vision
Enliven by the divine intervention:
ideology to spirituality; mentality to diversity
Reality therefore,
she is the collaborator of God in His salvific act
