Topic: Birthday of Mai Leen D. Asuncion (April 21)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Her life begins at forty,
Shining as the sun so bright;
The beautiful bride years ago
Remains the same day and night.
Her young and pretty face
Is always an inspiration;
She brings hope and strength,
As well as joy and elation.
Everytime I hold her hand,
So soft, warm and tender;
She makes me feel real safe
During the rugged weather.
The sweet sound of her voice
Is refreshing to my ears;
She takes away the sorrow,
Saving me from falling tears.
Her heart, mind and soul
Say that she feels my care;
Even the billion stars above
Witness that love fills the air.
Her name Mai Leen is unique
But sounds in familiarity;
She was born to be my love,
Her life begins at forty.
As we turn the pages and look towards the following year
let us reflect on yester year.
The smiles, laughter, and love.
The sorrow, tragedy, and tears.
The things that challenged us,
the things that made us stronger within.
The Lord and his presence as we turn the pages of life.
Let us leen on the strong, and help those who are week.
Let us stop, look, and listen for the message being sent.
A precious message sent for you and me.
The message of love, the message that promises eternal life.
