Iron Sharpens Iron
Telling the truth
Something they don’t want to hear
Being a Sharp tool
Just being honest
Building up character
True friendship
Pay careful attention
Iron Sharpens Iron
A sharp metaphor
A black-smith making orange sparks
Amber sparks to grow
Become the new you
Be the best you can be
This is a new day
Be a better man
Through the storm
A new person is born
Shape metal to iron
Become a better equipped man
Stand tall
Sharper than your adversaries

what are those? I ask, my voice cracking a bit.
They are long deep claw marks in my hemlock tree.
Made by a cougar? A mountain lion? a puma?
My cat cannot stop giggling.

Kisses of an enemy
fly at me
their all around
iron bars sharpen
cut right into me
friends wound
I'd rather have pain around
my soul is free
though it never leaves the ground

READING FOR LIFE
Aljim B. Lituañas
Reading is such a wondrous skill
That made us glad and give us trill
Journeys our minds to farthest spots
Cradling our hearts in lovely plots.
Reading sharpens the learning mind
Leading us to our starry climb
Shaping us into guiding hands
Spreading us to the prospered lands.
O! Reading is our hope that shines
Beating our hearts in every lines
Bringing joy in every pages
Freeing us from rusty cages.
