Amelia Poem by Jong Canlas

Her eyes twinkle
As she watches in wonder
My feeble attempts
To follow her steps

Her soft voice would utter
You can do better
With gladness in my chest
I would try even harder

Her fragile hand would tap
The corner of the game pad
A signal that I had to start
To play expertly her chosen part

It was an unexpected night
I chance to meet up
This innocent girl
Who charmed me with her twirl

How I remember
Her cute little face
Who would light up at once
On funny little pranks

I will never forget
The night I bond with her
So much in there I learned a lot
While I carry in my heart

Her image of innocent joy
And ministry of pure hope
She made me realize
On that single night

I did a great job
