Yes, I Can!

Yes, I Can!

…dedicated to Persons with Disability (PWDs )

By Apolinario B Villalobos

 

I may be lacking a foot or both

That will make it hard for me to stand,

 

I may be lacking an arm or both

That will make it hard for me to touch,

 

I may be lacking an eye or both

That will make it hard for me to clearly see,

 

I may not have a voice nor hear

That will make it hard for me to feel the crowd,

 

But God gave me a spirit, strong and bold

That can make me soar to heights – up there

It can bring me where I want – everywhere

It is my spirit that makes me say to anyone:

“That, as God made you, so am I,

and, what you can do,

Verily, I can do, too!

Proudly, to every one

I say, yes, I can…..!”

My Sincere Prayer of Gratitude…as a simple blogger

My Sincere Prayer of Gratitude

…as a simple blogger

By Apolinario Villalobos

 

Thank you Lord,

…for leading me to people whose good deeds need to be exposed that they may inspire others;

…for giving me the courage to call the attention of fellowmen for their misdeeds;

…for the prayers of those who appreciate what I do, and which provide me with strength;

…for the encouragement of friends who give me inspiration;

…for the vintage laptop that has been helping me a lot;

…for the cellphone with camera that a cousin gave for quick photo shots of my subjects;

…for the strong wi-fi signal in the home of a cousin where I do my blogs;

…for the hi-tech communication system without which, my effort would be futile;

…for the tranquil nights and dawns during which I wake up to jot down prospective blogs;

…for words that come into my mind, and which I could develop into blogs;

…for the fingers that have recovered from carpal tunnel syndrome, so that I could work fast;

…for the effort of a nephew who provided me fast mobility with his motorcycle;

…for a stomach that could withstand pangs of hunger;

…for the lungs that have resisted the onset of respiratory ailments;

…for the nose that have been straining the polluted air;

…for my overall health to keep me going;

…for the strong comments of viewers who affirm my views;

…for the extras that I could spare for others;

…for making me wake up with sprite at dawn to prepare myself for the day;

…for the compassionate viewers who make donations for blogged needy people.

 

I pray that You continue to keep me and the rest with similar advocacy as mine, in the shadow of your protection at all times.

 

Amen!
