Bughaw na Ibon

Isang bughaw na ibon
Lumilipad kasabay ng pagpagaspas ng mga dahon
Tila umaawit kasabay ng mga alon
Sa gitna ng maganda at payapang panahon
Kasabay ng takip-silim
Kalangitan ay nagdilim
Bumagyo at lumakas ang hangin
Hanggang siya ay tangayin
Isang ilog ang naghihintay
Sa ibong bughaw na tila isang lantang gulay
Bago pa man mahulog at masaktan
Isang sanga ang nakapitan
Buhay at ligtas
Mula sa kahirapang dinanas
Titila din ang ulan
Ang tag-araw ay muling masisilayan
Ang pagbangon ay masasaksihan

Ang ibon, tulad ng alitaptap
Muling lilipad sa alapaap
Dala ang pag-asa at mga pangarap.


Philippians 4:13
I can do all this through Him who strengthens me.
