The Horizon, Vol. 1, No. 1, September 1995
(Official literary folio of Trinity College of Quezon City)
(Upon the fine-sanded beach
I drew my plan
and shoveled deep
and built me a castle --
a dream.
Then,
with one swoosh,
the tide took away my castle,
hours of labor wasted,
a dream gone forever.
I was about to leave when he came
smilling and shaking his head.
he sat down beside me
and taught me all I had to know
about building castles.
Now,
heading for home,
I took a last look at my castle --
It is beautiful.
It is safe.
It is strong!)
Yes, my Lord,
not my will
but Thy will be done.
