Father Time, depicted as ‘the Grim Reaper’
House of Horrors gatekeeper
Holding a scythe, ready to strike
Where's ‘Papa,’ who loved me as a tyke?

Huling Araw ni Papa Francisco sa Pilipinas
Enero Diez y Nueve, Dos mil Kinse
Tulad ng pagdating, pag-alis naging simple
Subalit tulad ng unang araw
Mga nag-antabay sa daan nag-umapaw
‘Di parin natinag ang hiyawan
Ng mga taong sumalubong sa lansangan
Tulad ng pagdatal, panahon ay maganda
Napakaganda ng araw sa umaga
Paglipas ng mga araw na inulan
Bumalik din sa maaraw na pinagmulan
Mula umpisa hanggang sa wakas
Lulan parin ng Pope Mobile na bukas
Sa Villamor meron paring sayawan
Tulad ng unang paglapag sa bayan
Salamat sa wakas maayos na nakabalik
Ang Supremo ng Simbahan na sa bansa humalik.

Ikaapat na Araw ni Papa Francisco sa Pilipinas
Enero Diez y Otso, Dos mil Kinse
Kayrami paring mga sumalubong sa kalye
Unang tinungo Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas
Tuloy parin ang pangaral at pagbasbas
Nakipagkita mga pinuno ng ibang relihiyon
Humingi ng pag-unawa at kapayapaan sa mga nasyon
Nakinig sa hinaing ng mga kabataan
Inalo isang batang babaeng luhaan
Huling tinungo ang Grandstand sa Quirino
Kung saan may pinakamaraming dumalo
Tinig ng koro nakapangingilabot
Mensahe ng Dios abot na abot
Oh anong saya nang tawagin ng Santo Papa
Na dakila ang aming munting bansa
Ngayong kapistahan ni Santo Niño
Kanyang ipinaalaala halaga ng mga bata sa mundo.

Ikatlong Araw ni Papa Francisco sa Pilipinas
Enero Diez y Siete, Dos mil Kinse
Kahit may bagyo, tumuloy sa Leyte
Unang tinungo lungsod ng Tacloban
Muling nilipad skull cap pagbukas ng pintuan
Talagang maulan at mahangin
Subalit milyong tao sumalubong parin
Kanyang idinaos Banal na Misa
Kasama ang mga biktima ni Yolanda
Huling tinungo ang pook ng Palo
Nananghalian sa tuluyan ng Arsobispo
Doon din nakasalo mga nasalanta ng Yolanda
Mas malapitang nakisalamuha sa kanya
Mga pinaslang ni Yolly puntod binasbasan
Iba pang kaawa-awa hinandugan ng tirahan
Suot ang dilaw na kapote
Biniyayaang material at ispiritwal ang Leyte.

Ikalawang Araw ni Papa Francisco sa Pilipinas
Enero Diez y Seis, Dos mil Kinse
Lulan ng isang simpleng kotse
Unang tinungo Palasyo ng Malacañan
Pinagsabihan mga pulitiko huwag magnakaw sa bayan
Sa pagpasok ng palasyo binasbasan mga bata
Sa paglabas ng palasyo binasbasan matanda
Ikalawang tinungo Manila Cathedral
Pinangunahan pagdaos ng Misang Banal
Sa pagdating, sakay muli ng Pope Mobile
Sa pag-alis, mga umaantabay sa daan ‘di parin papigil
Huling tinungo Mall of Asia
Pinulong mga pamilya sa malaking asembleya
Sa pagsalubong may regalo mula sa may kapansanan
Sa pag-iwan may pailaw mula sa mga nagkakantahan
Ngayong araw kanyang isinulat sa talaan
Panalangin ng pag-unawa, kapayapaan at kaginhawaan.

Unang Araw ni Papa Francisco sa Pilipinas
Enero Kinse, Dos mil Kinse
Sa Villamor umindak daan-daang estudyante
Paglapag ng eroplanong Sri Lankan
Mga sasalubong naghiyawan
Pagbukas ng pintuan ng sasakyang lumilipad
Skull cap ng Santo Papa ay nilipad
Pagpanaog sa hagdan ng eroplano
Sinalubong ng mga sundalo at ng Pangulo
Pinatugtog himno ng ating bansa
Ganundin ang himno ng Vatican sa Roma
Dalawang batang ulila sa kanya sumalubong
Matamis na pagbati sa kanya ibinulong
Sa Pope Mobile na walang panangga sumakay
Ang Supremo ng Simbahan todo ngiti at kaway
Kahit gabi na kayraming tao bawat daanan
Hanggang sa Apostolic Nunciature na pagpapahingahan.

Mi Oracion Poema Por Papa Francisco
Papa Francisco, oh misericordioso!
Papa Francisco, oh compasivo!
Papa Francisco, se nuestro amparo!
Liberar mi alma y cuerpo condenado!
Liberar mi familia y futuro lastimoso!
Liberar me de venganza de N-M y sus partido!
Con elguia de Espiritu Santo…
Con el clemencia de Hesucristo…
Con el gracia de Dios amoroso…
Liberanos con el poder divino!
Liberanos de esquema maligno!
Liberanos por favor oh escuchano!
Ahora bendicir N-M y sus partido!
Ahora mi nacion eres bienvenido!
Ahora consagrar Filipinas mi amado!

*Pope Francis Fever Collection
I’m proud of my children, whatever they do
For as my wife likes to remind me
“After all, dear ~ They look just like you”
My Pa used to always say:
"Son, life is like a game of cards,"
"Don't cheat, until no one's lookin',"
"Don't spit, in front of company,"
"Don't ever Pee, in a wind storm,"
And absolutely, positively, no matter WHAT,"
"Hey Boy, hand me another Blatz!"
"Don't ever, EVER, defecate where you eat!"
"Or is it where you work? Or was it sleep?"
"Hell, I don't know, I've soiled drawers in all three."
"After THAT, My Progeny, the world's your oyster!"
"SHUCK IT, SUCK IT, AND CHUCK IT!"
To the man who stood so tall,
Who picked me up with every fall.
In life’s loud storm or silent pain,
You stood like shelter in the rain.
When nights were long, and hopes ran low,
You still believed and let it show.
You taught me how to fight, to stand,
To build my dreams with steady hand.
Behind your silence was endless care,
A love so deep, always there.
You gave up joys, ignored your need,
To see us smile, to help us succeed.
You worked in pain, you hid your fear,
And never let it interfere.
Each drop of sweat, each sleepless night,
You faced it all without respite.
You never asked for much or more,
Still gave us all you had in store.
You are the reason we can shine,
Your sacrifices shaped this life of mine.
Today I say what I feel each day,
But don’t always find the words to say:
You are my first love, my forever pride,
The one who’s always by my side.
I love you more than I can show,
More than you’ll ever truly know.
In every win, in every part,
You live within my grateful heart.
So here’s my soul, poured out today,
To thank you, Dad, in every way.
I pray for you in each life’s test,
May God grant you peace, love, and rest.
My dear Mama, oh so dear,
A mother true, always near.
From childhood's dawn till present day,
You guided us, showed the way.
With "Sugar Boy" by your side,
Together you led, with love and pride.
To "Oko Eti-ose" and "Oko Okuku" farms,
We trekked, with loaded arms.
The roads were long, the loads were heavy,
I cried, but you helped me be brave.
Coming home, with weary feet,
You soothed my tears, made our hearts meet.
With meager pay, as teacher true,
You and "Sugar Boy" saw us through.
Education's doors, you opened wide,
Degrees acquired, our futures inside.
In pain, you helped; in need, you gave,
Ensuring food, a roof to save.
Your partnership, a shining light,
Taught me teamwork, day and night.
You and Papa, a perfect pair,
United, selfless, beyond compare.
No difference, in love and care,
You both showed us, how to share.
May your days be long and bright,
Filled with joy, love's warm light.
We recognize, your sacrifices grand,
Thank you, dear Mama, hand in hand.
mama
you are no longer
with me
with us but I have your skin
and I have your eyes
and I wear your hair
you and I are one
and you in you I'm alive
Mama Papa in me
Papa you planted a seed
I am he
from your loins I was birth
you planted in mama
papa you are no longer with me
with us but I have your name always
mama papa in me
For U C Elohim Father God mama papa
We are all one
C’mon Papa
The gauntlet tossed
The challenge…
Ten rounds
With a 2 year old
Speed vs stealth
Experience vs enthusiasm
Age vs agility
Castle builder vs the siege
Best two out of three cookies
Co-Co melon is not a fruit
C’mon Papa
Let’s go OUTSIDE…..
My father always by my side,
My father who decided my existence,
My father who ensured my goodness in my life,
My father who ensured wellbeing in my life.
What can I give my father?
He acres just like no one else,
Where I need rescue
He becomes a lion
When I need happiness,
He becomes as playful as a puppy
Is there anything that can reward a father,
Is there anything that deserves his love?
Is there anything that worth to be given to him
Think of cars, houses and other riches
Still they can’t reach his pay
But I got a payment to him,
I know what he deserves
Give him success in education,
Give him success in your life,
And he will be happy.
But above all pray for him.
Xmas is here tonight
At midnight, what a night!
Let's write a bad poem about Christmas
Before the Midnight Mass
As we offer our best wishes to all on the planet
This is it
Santa Claus is sliding in the chimney
Hurray, hurray!
Papa Noël is coming to town to bring gifts
Garlic, olive oil and onion
To everyone
Stop all types of cheats.
Long live Papa Noël
Who hates to dwell
On negative things
Santa Claus stutters and sings
All the time
And he will never nickel and dime
The poor, the crazy and the pelicans
Except the poor Republicans.
Long Live Santa Claus
Regardless
Of our mess
He has been fair to all of us.
If you like this poem
Please wish your friends and neighbors
A very Merry Christmas and many Happy New Years
To come
Oh! Ho
Ho, Ho!
This is a gaffe
For Baby Jesus: laugh and laugh.
