| A CHILD'S WORLD by Ernie Turla | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I always wondered as a child If (roosters')combs were watermelon-made And if the floating clouds above Were cotton candy nicely laid! As curious as a child could be I also wondered at the sight Of crocodiles which I thought were Made of tough rubber tires and bite! I wondered how the forest green Got blue on mountains far away! I wondered if the winter snow Brought the ice cream that made my day! When rain would fall all over me And get myself all soaking wet Was it those angels in the sky On nature's call again, I bet? Could it be that those twinkling stars Came down as fireflies at night And that those echoes when I yelled Were from one trying to pick a fight? Was there a battle going on When lightning flashed and thunder rolled? Somehow I was just too dumb small In all that stuff I was not told! The above poem is anthologized in the book, Best Poems of 1998 by the National Library of Poetry. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Tune: Quiboloy Family Song | Lyrics: Ernie Turla E tamu pairaig itang Kapampangan E tamu paisaul queng masqui nanu man Ingatan taya ing quecatang aguman Sana atyung-atyu anga capilan man! Beinte-unu ya-ing Hunio carin ya mibait Queta qng Oaks Park nung nu tamu migpicnic Dinacal lang miembru careng intresadu Mesaya tamu ngan at mipapamiru. Agpang queng reglamentung tutuquian tamu Kapampangan la reng maliaring magmiembru At deng anac da magsilbi lang tangapan At deng asawa mag-special member no man. Sesen tayang ustu e ta paisambulat Queng bague mayap misanmetung ta sucat Mangadi ta queng Dios, maniad tang sicanan Bayang lumuat a bie-ing quecatang aguman!
