While Papa is Away....

I just want to share it here, a poem written by my 7 year old boy in Grade 1...
This piece won first prize in their school's United Nations week celebration program.

WHILE PAPA IS AWAY
by: Ivan Dayle Rafer
PAPA LEFT TO WORK ABROAD
MAMA IS HERE TO CARE FOR US.
THEY DECIDED TO LIVE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER
BECAUSE THEY WANT THE BEST FOR US

I KNOW THAT THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN ARE LIKE US,
WITH FATHERS OR MOTHERS LABORING IN FOREIGN LANDS.
WE ALL FEEL SAD BUT THERE SEEMS NO CHOICE
WE SIMPLY HAVE TO ACCEPT THINGS ARE THEY ARE;

NOW THAT PAPA IS THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM US,
I CANNOT BUT CALL ON YOU.
AND SO WHILE HE IS AWAY FROM US ,
YOU DO THE CARING AND THE COMFORTING.

AS TO MAMA,WE WILL MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR HER.
WE WILL FOLLOW AS SHE WISHES US TO DO.
SO THAT WHEN PAPA FINALLY COMES HOME,
WE WILL ALL BE HAPPY AGAIN UNDER ONE ROOF..

Naaalala nyo pa ba?

Sa Biga Boystown:

Na ang valedictorian natin ay si Angelo Villamin
Na ang pinakamatanda sa batch natin ay si Kuya Ricky Baratchina
Na hanggang section R ang batch natin nung 4th year tayo
Na 2nd year tayo nung magka problema sa tubig
Na 2nd year tayo ng mauso ang mga tinatahing short at yari sa katcha
Na si Sr. Tess Prudente ang sister-in charge natin nung 4th year tayo.

Ano pa ba? Dagdagan mo nga?

2008 Grandest Alumni Homecoming (MARCH 15, 2008)

Grand alumni Homecoming '08 shall be part of the documentary film of the life of our founder, Servant of God, Monsignor Aloysius Schwartz, who is on the process of beatification and canonization.

From the rest of your batchmate, CONGRATULATIONS!

A New Year Prayer

Holy Father,

God of our yesterdays, our today, and our tomorrows.

We praise You for Your unequaled greatness.

Thank You for the year behind us and for the year ahead.

Help us in Your new year, Father, to fret less and laugh more.

To teach our children to laugh by laughing with them.

To teach others to love by loving them.

Knowing, when Love came to the stable in Bethlehem, He came for us.

So that Love could be with us, and we could know You.

That we could share Love with others.

Help us, Father, to hear Your love song in every sunrise,

in the chriping of sparrows in our backyards,

in the stories of our old folks, and the fantasies of our children.

Help us to stop and listen to Your love songs,

so that we may know You better and better.

We rejoice in the world You loved into being.

Thank You for another new year and for new chances every day.

We pray for peace, for light, and for hope, that we might spread them to others.

Forgive us for falling short this past year.

We leave the irreparable past in your hands, and step out into the unknown new year knowing You will go with us.

We accept Your gift of a new year and we rejoice in what's ahead, depending on You to help us do exactly what You want..

I say it again, we rejoice!

In Jesus name,

Amen.
