114 My 27th Leaf

114.

My 27th Leaf



Picked thee on head high

With crowd my side by

From batchmates away

To them again, hey

It's called here “apoy”



A highschool batchmate

Parish affiliate

Rich and religious

Family Venus

Of the Ilawod



Fourth month and sixth day

It's a Good Friday

After procession

Night lights were turned on

Before the “duaw”



Where people cluster

On banwa proper

Second last caro

Float San Enchero

A Station of Cross



Again with batchmates

Like the former years

Somehow miracle

Rare get-together

The Lord bonds us here!
