235 My 40th Leaf

235.

My 40th Leaf



Taken thee from vine

Stem, fence intertwine

Violet and soft

Not on place aloft

It's “alugbati”!



Owned by Hapitan

Somehow famous clan

Ma'am Diday is she

By us known to be

Santos her partner



Eaten I just have

Foods that I so love

Afternoon that's dark

New Year is its mark

Baby's birthday too



In front of dwelling

Where there's no ceiling

Climbing cyclone wire

Where there is no mire

Alongside the road



First birthday party

Of child named Arnie

Curly hair this one

To Ma'am Diday son

I'm with Joy, Angie.
