Adopting Hope


Rust ate the chains
that held the withered seat,
I wonder how it works now
the swing giving out a creak.

I thought I saw a seesaw
broken and nearly torn in half.
I wouldn’t want to see them ride
and forcing out a laugh.

And if that was a slide
I must have blinded sight,
to go down on that thing
meant gripping for one’s life

As I sat on the rusted bleacher,
I pondered on what I could do
I can’t adopt a child now
but I’ll start with hope,

how ‘bout you?

adopt me please...  ;D

Hope adopted

Each child is a precious stone
Polished to perfection
Even when placed amongst brilliant others
Each will have a brilliance of it's own...

It's such a shame that some
Do not realize the value of each child
They throw them away and pick up stones
What a pity...

I do not have much
To get one precious gem
But i have enough
For a pedestal
Where they can be placed
To be sheltered and cared for
To be loved and admired...

(might as well post this here. ahe i wrote this last friday, electric power was disconnected so ive to used candles for an hour. as i was sitting alone in the dim lighted room fretting when will the electrician will come, the lingap kids suddenly flashed to my mind.)


A LETTER:


weren't you suppose to wake me up
         with a kiss
          with a pancake ready?
weren't you suppose to play with me
          till we get dirty and messy?
weren't you suppose to push me on my swing
           and watch me slide to my knees?
and read my bedtime stories
tuck me to bed
and kiss me good night?

i realize that those only happens
in  bedtime stories
i always read and sleep with.

how come i don't have someone to do it fo me?



he's threathening to fall apart again
and i don't want him to
he's my only friend
      my listener, my comfort
he hears my cries, my pains
my whines.

as i lean push and lean to old
rusty , creeking handles
the cold stung my warm face.
i started to ask,
will i ever feel
a warm touch to my face?
will i ever sit in a real swing?
will i ever sawy with a smile?
will someone fix my rusty swing if it fell apart?
