Anghel nan Ginoo

     I wrote this poem 2 years ago when I was in a parish exposure at La Purisima Parish, Tago, Surigao del Sur. Actually, I have composed several poems in my one-month stay there, just to quench my boredom, so as to savor an idle afternoon, a fresh air, a silent ambiance, and a simply-beautiful view of Tago plaza from its blue convent's balcony. Tago's environment is so promising. The place is so placid and quiet, far from the busy streets of my home, Tandag.

     I found this poem somewhat corny as I was just too young at the age of 17 when I wrote it.

Anghel nan Ginoo ngadi sa kilid ko
Adlaw ug do-m yadi tapad kanako
Nan gugma nan Diyos gapada- kanako
Ibani ako sa da-n panawon ko.

Ay gipada- nan Diyos dakan maggiya kanako
Dakan Iya kaluyag mahipaabot kanako
Sa tanan takna, landagi ako
Tultuli hain buot ako makadto nan Ginoo.

Ikaw na sinugo ni Balaang Laon
Sa tanang katalagman, protektahi ako
Sa kadugom, landagi ako
Ug ipabati kanako an gugma nan Ginoo.

O anghel nan Ginoo sa kilid ko
Sa tanan gutlo, ibani ako
Sa tanan takna, tabangi ako
Sa Tanan adlaw, hayagi ako.
