The Teacher

 I.
The teacher built a temple
With loving and infinite care
planning each arch with patience
Laying each stone with prayer

II.
None saw her unceasing effort
None knew her wondrous plan
For the temple the teacher built
Is unseen by the eyes of man

III.
Gone are the builders' temple
Crumbled into dust
Low lies the stately pillar
Food for consuming rust

IV.
But the temple the teacher built
Will last while the ages roll
For the beutiful, unseen temple
is the child's immortal soul.

Bentedos Rapsa: Mi Familia

Image
I. Coming together is a beginning Nov. 28, 2016. It all started on that day. 28 people attended the first day of our training. Everything is new. New faces. New set of people. New place. New job. The usual happened--introduction and everything. But, 28 did not remain as 28. Some people did not come in anymore. Others were dismissed. It happens, yes, but if you were a part of a family, you would care. II. Keeping together is a progress There are just things that are really beyond our control and we respect that. However, despite what happened, we tried our best to build stronger foundation to solidify our family. You know what is the good thing about having a family? It is the sense of belongingness. We do things together. We eat together. We give love and we share both our sad and happy moments. We tell each other our life stories.
