Poem Writing Activity

I love to write poems, yun nga lang wala na kong time para magsulat pa. I could still remember the day when I wrote my latest poem, that's almost a year ago. I was at the hospital looking over my sick grandma. It's about how gloomy that room was. Nasa ward kasi ang lola ko nun so I can see other patients with their relatives. One of the patients was about to die kaya medyo may iyakan.

Today I was able to write another poem together with my grade 4 class. Nasa poem writing na kasi kami and it was fun! :D We wrote a poem together using a guide found in their textbook. I was writing my poem on the board while they write theirs on a piece of paper. Here's my composition:

"I am"
I am an imaginative and creative girl
I wonder how eagles fly above the storm
I hear them chirping
I see their wings wide open
I want to fly high like eagles
I am an imaginative and creative girl

I pretend that I'm flying

I feel the strong winds against my wings
I touch the heavy clouds
I worry that I will not able to face the strong winds
I cry thinking that I will not make it through the storm
I am and imaginative and creative girl

I understand that God is with me

I say I will make it because I have Him
I dream to see myself flying over the dark clouds
I try to fly higher than ever
I hope to have stronger wings and deeper faith to persevere
I am an imaginative and creative girl.

Nakakatuwa lang, kahit sa simpleng tula I was able to share God's goodness to my students! You're so good Lord!

Double-minded

"He is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does."
James 1:8
Lord, please help me not to be a double-minded person...
Help me to be wise in making decisions using Your Word as my basis.
Help me to stand firm in faith...
