Prayer of a Student
Trinidad L. Tarrosa
To learn, dear Lord, about these emerald leaves,
These tender-petalled blossoms laved in dew
From where they came,
and how and why they lived;
Or yet to know why ocean waters lash
Their atomed selves against the granite rocks
senseless lie along the shores; to know
Why rainbows fling their ribboned souls athwart
The eastern skies when sunrays
flick the west;
Why lightning furies rage when storm winds still
The thunder echoes hurtling through the dark;
learn about the earth, about the moon,
The sun and lesser stars and other worlds
That span the cerculescent firmament;
learn great facts about the little things
And then while knowing these, not to unlearn-
Never, O god to unlearn the
That thou art in reality the source,
The why, The How, The Wherefore of all things.
“The education of the human mind starts in the cradle.”
“Education is the most effective instrument not only for personal transformation but also
for national development.”
liberty depends on freedom of the press and that cannot be limited without being lost.”
“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not
“The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be lighted.”

An kinabuhi puno hin kakuri
Nasosolbar an iba
Pero damo la gihap an kakuri.
kakuri diri la harumamy
Baga-bag hin napatay
Ha kasing-kasing ngan panhuna-huna.
Nag-aampo nga masolusyonan
nga mga kakuri
Para ha masunod, diri na bumalik.
Life is a beauty, praise it.
Life is a journey, complete it.
Life is a puzzle,solve it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a mystery, unfold
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a mercy, love it
Life is a problem, face it.
A Special World
A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
