When I’m alone, I...
remember the day
you interviewed me.
your bearing,
your cordiality
established your magnanimity.
think of my terrifying first days,
my very first reprimand
for my being remiss
on certain tasks.
ponder on my faults
after realizing your reproof.
Remorse struck me
then, negligence left me.
muse over your criticisms.
And the thought-to-be-scathing remarks
posed me a challenge _
your hard-to-earn approval.
meditate on your sacrifices.
You have worked hard,
you have survived
Ddspite the excrutiating pain.
Then, I...
reflect about your diligent care,
your genuine concern,
your enduring spirit,
your productive life’s message.
And today, I...
finally comprehend:
God is truly great
for He accorded me
a superior like you
not only to be obeyed
but, above all, to be EMULATED.
Because you don’t merely lead
But reflect what you speak.
Thus, I...
wholeheartedly say
THANK YOU for the lessons
You have been my inspiration.
For MRS. ESTER B. ESGUERRA, our beloved principal, on her 86th birthday-July 15, 2009
