When I'm in LOVE!

They say that love begins with a simple friendship

With an artless smile that leads into courtship

Other says love begins with "one hello"

Many promises made that you can't let go.

But hearken me as I share to you

My love story began with a joke it's true

A joke that is meant to be for fun

But I take it too seriously where love had began.

We're "star-crossed lovers" I used to say

Like Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeare's play

Young and forbidden love we share together

Till death do we part cause of a "scarlet letter."

I can be Jack for my beloved Rose

That sinks in the deepest part of the ocean and froze

Keep your promise and never let go

Cause my heart goes on though I'm six feet below.

If changing myself is the key for you to love me

Then I'll be Landon and you'll be my Jamie

Unconditional love is the thing I can only offer

Forever and ever our love will remember.

I think our love would be eternal

If I can make you like me an "Immortal"

I can be Edward, you can be my Bella

Or in my own story, I can be Suna and you're my Moona

I know these things are not meant to be true 

Because love is not easy as fantasy you knew 

Happy endings only happen in fairy tale

But my love for you is beyond compare!

Sunshine

I wake up each day of my life full of smile

Though it feels like I’ve travelled for a ten thousand mile

I rise up with my sun that shines upon me

Beautiful as the raindrops falling with glee.

Never did I imagine this thing would happen

Falling in love again? It’s not in my plan

But I’ve met a very sweet woman

Who turned me into a complete man.

She once said “I have a pen, my pen is blue

I have friend, my friend is you.”

She’s the reason behind this written poem

We shared each words not just my own,

All my life I’ve been searching for you for so long

To help me put my words into rhyme like a song

Now that I’d  found you, the missing piece of my heart

Together, forever we’ll never be apart.

I promise to love you until I die

I swear to God not to make you cry

When the summer sun turns into winter and its cold

I will always love you when you are old! 

When Man Learns?!

It’s been a long, long years ago

When teaching began to grow

The chosen ones started to exist

To shape the world and teach

Many philosophers came out

Many great scientists sprout

They influence the world with their brilliant mind

Just like opening the eyes of a blind

The evolution of man demands for transformation

From Homo-Sapiens to a full civilized person

The more we learn, the more we discover our ignorance

We want to add our knowledge and for our skills to be enhance

Poor man continues to seek for an answer

He even blew up his mind, such a disaster!

Searching for things, trying to prove many things

That causes his suffering that’s never ending.

Don't be a MAYBE!

There were many things in life we're not so sure

All I can say His love is so pure

That every trembling heart and doubtful mind can cure

Don't be a maybe, think wisely!

We have only one life and one chance to live

Prove to the Lord that you deserve what he hath give

Accept the test, have faith and believe

Don't be a maybe, think carefully!

If you'll die today, do know where to go?

In heaven or in hell say it, be it yes or be it no! 

Figure it out I hope you know, I hope you know

Don't be a maybe, think deeply!

"To see is to believe" you always bear in mind

And yet you leave so many things behind

If you'll change it "to believe is to see" I guarantee,

You'll never be a maybe, have nothing to worry and never be sorry!

The Greatest Gift

Depart from me not my Lord, my God

Deliver me from my enemies,

Armed me with thy great majesty

I can't conquer them without you in me.

Open my eyes and let me see

Lord remember your people including me,

Be my light and be my guide

Hear my cry all through the night.

Grant me thy peace your greatest gift

By prayer and supplication ye shall give,

Now I'm walking following your path
I believe you'll soon grant me life that never lasts.

SECOND CHANCE

I'm giving you back all you had given me

For you shall be praised and lifted up not me,

Thank you so much Lord for everything

For the second life and chance you bring.

Take my hand my God once again

Guide my way I will never ran,

Extravagant love you had shown to me

You captured my heart and set me free.

You're truly gracious and full of compassion

Never changing throughout the season,

In return I shall love you with my heart and my soul

Believing I can make it through it all.

My family shall sing and praise you too

And tell them your majestic works I must do,

Hoping they will also be saved

And together in heaven we will parade.

Words of His Wisdom

Words of wisdom, I heard Him say

Meditate my word night and day,

Pray and ask heartily I will give

Only for those who have faith and who believe.

Be still my child and follow my will

Doubt to me not for I am real,

By my grace you're being saved

Work for thy gift don't misbehave.

Offer me your life and body as a sacrifice

It will serve as my home and edifice,

In every battle you face, you shall not fear

For every wound and pain I shall heal.

Rejoice with me 'till the end

Forever and ever for you I will stand,

I will wait for you my child nothing's to late

My father is glad to meet you on heaven's gate.

Beware of Humans

Read the poem by Jack Prellutsky:

The Crocodile

by: Jack Prellutsky

Beware of the crafty crocodile

who beckons you with clever smile

to join him in the river Nile

and swim with him a little while.

His smile is not a friendly smile,

it springs from his dishonest guile

and treacherous reptilian style.

Beware of the Crafty crocodile.

Rewrite the  poem from the Crocodile's perspective?

THE HUMAN

By: Jonel G. Pabro

Dear Crocks, beware to man

They are hazardous not fun

Behold, in their eyes full of hypocrisy;

Killing you is no mercy, no charity

Humans build traps with delicious prey,

Be careful my friend to become their array

Demon’s eye never let go;

If they clutch you, their bludgeons blow.

7x7x7x7

 Grab a 7th book from your bookshelf. Open it up to page 7. Pinpoint the 7th sentence on the page. Begin a poem that begins with that sentence and limit it in length to 7 lines.
  
Luckily, I picked Charlotte's Web and I turned it immediately at page 7 and look for the 7th sentence "She just sits and stared out of the window" and I entitled it"Carefree".

CAREFREE!

-JonelGallotPabro

She just sits and stared out of the window,
Thinking what a blissful world is tomorrow?
She never mind the things that lies ahead
As she smiles lying to her bed
While gazing at the stars in the sky,
She never forgets to pray up high
Here comes again the sun rise, full of hope she arise.

The Only Tree Left

By: Jonel G. Pabro

Born again, a brand new seed

Watered with hope, it sprouted indeed

It grows mightily in the forest through His will

And no disaster can break it still

By His plans its branches are being laid,

Full of leaves that anyone can shade

Birds can land and build their nest;

He gives warm welcome and happiness

Standing so tall creatures great and small,

What a wonderful world He gave us all

By his grace, this tree is blessed;

Night and day it worried less

The fruit it bears is full of goodness,

Taste one you’ll filled with kindness

Maybe two, still not enough for you;

Make it three you’ll set free

The reason why it’s still standing so tall,

 Because it let God manipulate its goal

There are many trees like this before;

But nothing left just him no more!

This tree is not ordinary but one of a kind,

Full of love that can heal the heart and mind

No wonder that it’s the only tree left standing

Cause it never forgets God and keeps on praying.

A Mother's Love

She’s the first woman, whom I always love

Given to me by God from up above

She carried me nine months inside her;

Taking care of me ‘till now I get older

She’s always there to make me happy,

Whenever I’m so sad and weary

The kindle light that guides me and will never fade;

She’s most beautiful like that of jade

She's more than a treasure to me,

More than a hero you fly on free

She’s caring, loving and understanding;

That’s why I love her so much she’s amazing

I can still recall when I’m a little kid,

The times I got hurt I cried and bleed

She’s the one who pull me up so quickly;

The best mom in the world I’m so lucky

I can’t imagine life without her,

Cause everything turns cold like in December

For a mother’s love is so tender and warm;

When I’m in her arms I feel can no harm

She’s the only reason I keep on fighting,

To continue dreaming and believing

Every time I see her smiling face;

The pains in my heart easily efface

  

I love my mother more than anything,

For without her like Christ, I am nothing

I will do my very best to make her proud;

Cause I don’t want to see her cry out loud.

(Dedicated to my mother, Carmelita G. Pabro)

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

BROKEN VOW

I told myself not to say goodbye,

But one day I did and I wonder why?

How can I possibly stay?

If he keeps on pushing me away

I know my friend I brought too much pain inside you,

And so goodbye is all we can do

Those words of yours I encounter rarely;

It cuts my veins and my heart deeply

Saying goodbye is the saddest thing I know,

And the most difficult part is to let you go

Don't you remember the times we spent together;

The good bonding we have as true brother

I can still recall that day you had promised me,

No way to forget 'till we have our own family

You make believe that those words of yours are true;

But when I’m so down where were you?

As time passed and season changed

The pain you created I still felt it so strange

I long to hear your voice that always call;

Late at night in my dreams I cried and fall

As I watch the setting of the sun

I just keep in my mind that you’re gone, gone, gone!

That you’re happy wherever you are;

As well as am as I follow the star

The dreams we have before I will never let go,

Though we parted our ways for us to grow

Always bear in your mind what I have promised;

That in my heart you will never vanish!

THE DECODERS (BSE English Batch 2014)

Here comes the walking encyclopedia,

Knows many things about the media

Mark Angelo is a book worm in school;

Collecting many books he finds it cool

Look at this demure woman named Emy,

She’s very religious yet so lovely

A genuine person that generously give;

For it makes her heart so relieve

 Simple glance might be confusing for you,

He’s a man but acting like a woman do

Ericson maybe a soft hearted man;

But always a good friend and never ran

And so did her, this gorgeous lady,

Clarissa is terrible like a baby

Her beauty is beyond incomparable;

Garbled hair makes her shine like a marble

This friend of mine is full of mystery,

Jeffrey never mentioned his story

Also known who has an intelligent mind;

But always left many things behind

How lovely seeing those red lips of her,

Truly like a rose bud that sprung in summer

This pretty girl named Charmaine Subia;

Always interchangeably as Sharmaine De Luna

He’s a boy full of guts in learning,

And very devoted in studying

Roy maybe is not good as what you think he is;

But a very hardworking the bees

She is also known as a sexy maiden,

Sharmaine de Luna belongs’ Eden

I think she had eaten everything;

But still not enough, she needs more building

Donna dela Cruz is such a joker,

But sometimes I find her bitter

Though I laugh at most of her stuff;

But she often makes make my head puff

  

Cheerful jolly but sometimes crazy,

This juicy girl named Melly

Deeply in love to our handsome professor;

That gave strong sense of humor

Everyone is listening when she started to speak,

Don’t look at her face you might tuned into freak

May Ann is a girl with a gentle voice;

Always beautiful and never lose her poise

She is chubby but also a cute one,

This young woman always love to have fun

Jaquelou dela Cruz doesn’t want to be stress;

Or else she’ll end up so depress

Golden voice we call to her,

Richelle dela Cruz like no other

She’s fun of memorizing her lines;

And has a curly hair like vines

So energetic is she,

Bernadette is a fighter like me

Every single act of her seems so amazing;

Like a thunder in the sky, blazing

Her gleaming eyes and candied smile is has deceived me;

Erica Sardenia is such a pretty lady

She’s very kind caring and understanding

But also dedicated in studying

These people are all my company;

In fulfilling my wonderful journey

Forever they will remain in my heart and mind

Like the pages of the book that together binds

For I am just but a simple man,

Whose passion is singing and writing to have fun

Truly yours, Jonel Gallot Pabro

Friend of yours yesterday, today and tomorrow!

MY EXTRAORDINARY TEACHER

She’s our second mother in school;

And our adviser that's very cool

Her heart is devoted in teaching;

Always inspiring and encouraging

One that never brags any of her achievement;

Knows what's best and an eminent

She gives care and comfort to us;

Always the one whom we can trust

Innovation and perfection she preserves;

Biased and subjectivity you can never observe

Always assuring her students to learn;

Wishing they have something to earn

She never leaves someone in her class;

Instead open our minds and discuss

I’m not the only person gaining from her;

 Because of her many student have prosper

The things she taught to us will always remember;

Inscribed here in my memory forever

I wish someday I could be successful like her;

Very dedicated and a full-fledged teacher

I’m feeling sorry and sometimes my guilt last;

For always coming late to her class

How I wish madam I could tell you;

How much I appreciate your value

But for now all I can say is thank you;

THANK YOU! For everything you do

You have no idea how much you’ve changed us;

Towards our future that is vast!

(Dedicated to Mrs. Genalyn L. Capelo)

Nothing Lasts Forever

Young faces later gets old,

Unlike silver, platinum and gold

Silky smooth skin will stretch and fold:

Compared to clay you can shine and mold

Memories will easily fade away,

As fast as night turns to a day

Eyeball vision began to blurred and turn to gray;

Like the sun setting from the bay

Soon you’ll lost the ability to hear,

In dying you have a lot of fear

And suddenly in yours eyes a tear;

And you always isolate yourself from the peer

In the racking chair you sit all alone,

No other company but your own

A lot of pain you feel and you moan;

Seems every day, every night you groan

 Knees are getting weaker and you could hardly stood,

And you have a sudden change of mood

Most of the time you don’t feel good;

Easily lost your appetite for food

Getting old is very dainty,

Nothing lasts forever believe me!

Soon everything will perish and shatter in debris;

Cause this world is being cursed by God almighty!
