CALIFORNIA BEAMING
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
In November 2000 and again from ‘01 till ‘02
Did I visit and make home of southern California
Amazed at the prosperity and near-perfected planning
Did I sing along many times ‘California Dreaming’
Making rounds of over fifty of its cities big and small
From Los Angeles and eastern coasts to Nevada’s borders
And downwards to San Diego couples of times spent
Visiting the border to Mexico viewable from the state
So did I come to love someone too
A noble lady from San Bernardino clue
Who treasured me so much she made me speak
Before university students eager for Light
Lake Mead, wild boar hunting, San Pedro tour
Huntington offshore speed boating & fishing too
Sta Monica tour with beers, swims & slot machines
Venice cooling by the coast & buyin’ crafts along
Partying with family circle & grassroots workers
Drinking tequila and Mexican beers to company
And when the opportune moment came
I did grab grassroots work via church work
Counsel & listen to young adults and singles
And making rounds of seminars in diverse parishes
Residing in Ramona’s apartments with dad & sibs
On weekends to party and visit Ontario Mills sometimes
A few times post-party to star gaze for shooting stars
Do gym work right inside our home village
California beaming is what I made of it
The warm peoples of the state to stay in my bosom
A second home truly it was beyond dreaming
