SANGGOL

Pag ang sanggol ay ngumiti


nawawala ang pighati,
pag kalong mo’y sumisidhi
ang pangarap na punyagi.

PAG-IBIG

Wala iyan sa pabalat


at sa puso nakatatak,
nadarama’t nalalasap
ang pag-ibig na matapat.

GALIT

Ang damdami’y sumisikdo


sa balitang di-totoo;
habang sila’y nanunudyo,
poot nag-aalimpuyo.
