Notes About The Poem

I wrote this poem when a very strong typhoon named Lawin (signal #5) hit my hometown /place.I didn’t sleep the whole night of Oct. 20, 2016. Instead, I spent time thinking about my family, praying for their safety. For those who were with me in prayer, thank you so much. God bless!

Lawin

Your name is as huge as eagle’s wings,
Lurking in the depth of the night;
Trying to horrify me,
Pounding mightily with your roaring fist,
To take everything from me dead or alive.
With your greedy claws,
You want nothing to remain;
But the sword that I have,  
Got the strongest shield.
Much stronger than the million iron rods,
And I’m not afraid.
My armor is empowered within my heart
From up above with grace.
Like stone and sling
I’ll gather my army as one David
To hurl into your forehead like Goliath
Shot and be fallen
By these two things inside my heart 
Much bigger than an eagle
To prey you away!
