43 My 2nd Leaf
43.
My 2nd Leaf
Picked thee from clusters
With red-like blisters
Shrub with thousand leaves
Packed flowers it gives
Hey! It's a “santan”!
The owner of thee
A rich family
Named Araneta
And Hachuela
Dumarao's elite
Glad birthday to her
Ma'am Inday's mother
Their clan reunites
Family invites
June One of this year
Beside the stairway
Flowers in array
On box plots planted
To porch surmounted
Abode's grand entrance
This day's important
Somehow jubilant
‘Bout thirteen years past
Since I was there last
This one's second time.
