Sing me your song Mommy
your version of Brahms’ lullaby
embrace me tenderly
until with the birds I fly.

Sing me your song Mommy
your rendition of “I Love You Song”
even better than that of Barney
until the angels hum along.

Sing me your song Mommy
sing the song in your heart
I want to see you smile so sweetly
like clouds, a sugar-coated tart.

Sing me your song Mommy
sing me with daffodils in your ear
I will listen to you intently
like lilies kiss the water dear.

Sing me your song Mommy
let’s dance to its every tune
and in your arms you carry me
until darkness pleases the moon.

Sing me your song Mommy
let your music tug along dreamers
and fill our senses with the scent of a daisy
until the sun breaks our slumbers.

May isang bata
Itoy ang ngalan niya
nakikipaglaro sa sapa
nang biglang madapa.

Umiyak ang bata
“Huhuhu!” nasambot niya
“Ayoko ng makipaglaro.”
habang tuhod ay sapo-sapo.

Nang lumapit si Sita
kalaro rin niyang bata
“Tahan na, tahan na.”
ang kanyang nawika.

“Sadyang ganyan ang laro,
sugat ma’y matamo,
magkapeklat ang nguso
may siya naman sa puso.”

“Nais mo bas a bahay lang?
Mga butiki ika’y bibilang?
Ikaw magdahan-dahan,
siya nama’y di maramdaman?”

“Kaya Itoy, ika’y tumayo,
subukan ang patintero.
Tayo ay muling tumakbo
at sumabay sa inog ng mundo!”
