A Father's Promise

Noel Hautea/Gabby Javellana

My child, so loved dearly

Do not worry, do not cry.

Fear not, don't be weary

I'll be with you completely.

The name given to a child

Marvelous and so precious;

Wonder not, just be glad,

It's the name given above.

Do not fear, I am here;

And I love you my dear.

Your world will be clear;

Just let me come near.

Close your eyes, sleep tight

Tomorrow will be bright.

Day and night be glad,

All will be well dear child.

I am so proud of my brother's first poem which he co-wrote with his classmate for The Green Beacon, the official publication of La Salle Bacolod- I.S. lower graded. This was included in the literary section of their paper, and this is his very first literary work. I never have thought that Nj has his secret writing skills. ;)
