Because of A Child

Dahil sa Isang Bata
Because of a child
Young person how are you created
That’s the question from the body
Why can’t you join their repartee?
Your opinion is often unnoticed, discarded
You seem naïve at their perusal
So you’re often left in your state, dismal
Even though you’re so exceptional
You can never be their equal
So you’re just sitting at your little corner
Not allowed to say, you just hover
The milk is oozing, waiting to cover
Because you want to tell, not to waver…
You want your voice to be heard
In your ability you don’t want to retreat
Even if you’re a child yet
you got talents to be considered
you’re the shining star that gives light
In the heart that only feels delight
Emotions that find solace in its plight
For sure he doesn’t want to give up the fight
Yes, surely you’re just a kiddo
The heart and mind are in a wino
Feelings are pure and true
So full of love in a bimbo
You’re a genial prodigy
In the true essence of humility
You even promote simplicity
In all manner, above all your sincerity
Because of a moppet
Valuing others you’ll become an expert
Your life becomes easy
Your life will be trouble free
You are a great exemplary
Lessons in life will not go a nary
Your existence will not be empty
Worthlessness will surely be thrown away…
Dahil sa Isang Bata
Bata bata paano ka ginawa
Iyan ang tanong ng madla
Bakit hindi ka makasali sa usapang matanda
Opinyon mo laging binalewala
Sa tingin nila ikaw ay inosente pa
Kaya hindi ka pinapansin nila
Kahit sobrang talino mo na
Hindi ka pa rin makalamang sa kanila
Kaya ika’y nakaupo sa isang tabi
Wala man lang pwedeng isabi
Kahit naguumapaw ang gatas sa labi
Dahil gusto mong ihabi
Nais mong mong ika’y marinig
Sa kakayahan ayaw mong padaig
Dahil ika’y bata man
may sarili kang kakayahan
ikaw ang siyang nagbibigay aliw
Sa puso naging kagiliw giliw
Damdaming hindi magmamaliw
Tiyak hindi siya bibitiw
Oo nga’t musmos ka pa
Puso’t isip ay hilaw na
Damdamin nama’y mapagkalinga
Mapagmahal kang talaga
Ikaw ang nagtuturo
Magpakumbaba ng taos puso
Kasimplehan sa lahat ng bagay
Iyong iwinagayway
Dahil sa isang bata
Lalawak ang iyong pang unawa
Buhay mo’y gagaan
Mawawala iyong pinapasan
Dapat kang tularan
Marami ring aral na matutunan
Buhay mo’y kanyang punan
Kahungkagan kayang sidlan…
