Beata Agustin Poet Choka

Special Day Feature

Waking up with glee
my son welcomes gracious day 
praying, giving thanks
midst praise sign language…
can he utter grateful sounds?
yes, God understands.
He seeks for his book.
Is that a favorite one?
Bible with pictures…
Flipping every page
he claps at the sight of ark…
“Have you seen the ape?
…how about big ant,
antelope, armadillo…
all in floating zoo?”
Then he closes book
for delightful bathing spree…
How does he manage?
He gladly gestures…
“Mother is always ready”
“Right, Mommy dearest?” 
Well, indeed so, by God’s grace.*

*2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
