An Ode To Beata Agustin

When “A Nightingale Sings of Dawn’s Glory”
know Be-ya-ta* is wafting her story.
She herself is the bracing “Breath of Spring”
for she is the nightingale called to sing.
Her “faith grabs best in every “Dilemma”.
Beata has no “Hidden Agenda;
her central focus is praise for our God. 
His “Pardon” she never fails to applaud.
He’s her “Source of Peace” where she can “Shine On”, 
“Enabled…to Reach 2021.” **

She’s the salt in “Salt Functionality”
light in “Stellar Power” vitality.
“Blooming Unto Good Works”, serving with joy,
she’s Beata, working in God’s employ.
With a Be-ah-titude theme - happiness,
hers is a life that our Jesus can bless.
Working at an orphanage, Mommy Bhee
shares hope in "A Vision for Our Country".
“I Thank God For” her poems, they’re touching;
“Without Him” she’s right, we’d all be nothing.

A place of honor I grant, “Thanks to Mentor Poets” all.
A bit like the psalms of David, like the letters of Paul,
Be-ya-ta's  a breath of fresh air, from daybreak to nightfall,
A-gust-in “Heaven’s Tableau”, she airs Christian protocol.

* Beata Agustin
** the full title is "Enabled by God to Reach 2021"

Congrats! God be praised and thanked for you and for this. I read such to my class in our Bible College (Writing for Ministry Purposes)... showing the students an example of an Ode or tribute poem. They said, "Wow! Praise God!" Thanks so much. God bless you.
