CHEERFULNESS

CHEERFULNESS

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Cheerfulness

Is never allowed to be dormant

Among children

In whose currents it

Freely flows

When it erupts

Like sunbursts

That all other cosmic bodies

Gladly accept

As life blessings.

CITY FOR CHILDREN

Erle Frayne D. Argonza


If I shall have a hand in building the world anew
A city I will build and dedicate for babes & tots
Where they can frolic the day to hearts’ delight
Relish their minds with fantasies of creation
Toyland and chocolate city rolled in one
This wonderland will be a place to baptize
New babes a-born with Universe’s smile in face
Grand place to celebrate birthdays too for them
Who are growing up a bit to tot’s fanfares
Late at day shall theatres turn their lights
To them who’d desire for heroism tales
For Cinderellas & Mulans of the morrows

Yes! Let there be such a city to shine the world
Bursting tots’ laughters like happiest bards
