Bernardo F. Asuncion Poet Acrostic

Just Rise Above the Rest

J-ust rise above the rest, 
O-ver the deepest water; 
C-limb the highest hill
E-ven during vile weather.
L-et your head rise above, 
Y-our mind keeps the faith; 
N-either of them will weaken, as you hope, pray and wait.

D-o rise above the rest, 
I-n spite of sacrifice; 
C-hoose between win or lose, 
U-sing your open eyes.
L-et your life rise above, 
I-n spite of criticism; 
N-either heart nor soul departs from optimism.

B-elieve and trust in God, 
A-llowing Him to guide you; 
H-e'll answer your prayers
I-n the sky wide and blue.
L-et the Lord play His part, 
L-etting you solve the test; 
O-ctober fourteenth morn, just rise above the rest.
