My World Poem by Jessie Clarete Bernabe Cadsawan

Silent as a deep blue sea
Green and woody as a forest
Sticky and bubbly like a gum
Sweet and tasty as a food to feed.

In the midst of sorrow and sadness
I tried and learned to be happy
In the middle of pain and agony
I managed to be calm stand firmly.

The loads and burden I carry
No matter how heavy I bear
The power I have and with me
The grace and blessings of mercy.

Ups and downs and round, around
Far and near my world was dark
Far and near my world get bright.
I loved and lost and was hurt

I am loved and left and have hurt
The world I have been and into was that
Sad, merry, glad and bad and what about
The world I have is it like yours?

Sweet and sour with precious might
Pearly and sandy, smooth and rough
Bright shinning dark or dull lights
Whatever, it is my world I can’t object!
