Walk With Me, Mama

Sammi Smithyman

Walk along side me, Mama

and hold my little hand.
I have so many things to learn
that I don’t yet understand.

Teach me things to keep me safe

from the dangers everyday.
Show me how to do my best
at home, at school, at play.

Every child needs a gentle hand

to guide them as they grow.
So walk alongside me, Mama.
We have a long way to go.

STAR – DECLAMATION

Good Night and Good Morning

Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton

A fair little girl sat under a tree,

Sewing as long as her eyes could see;
Then smoothed her work, and folded it right,
And said, "Dear work, good night! good night!"

Such a number of rooks came over her head,

Crying, "Caw! Caw!" on their way to bed;
She said, as she watched their curious flight,
"Little black things, good night! good night!"

The horses neighed, and the oxen lowed,

The sheep's "Bleat! bleat!" came over the road;
All seeming to say, with a quiet delight,
"Good little girl, good night! good night!"

She did not say to the sun, "Good night!"

Though she saw him there like a ball of light,
For she knew he had God's time to keep
All over the world, and never could sleep.

The tall pink foxglove bowed his head,

The violets curtsied and went to bed;
And good little Lucy tied up her hair,
And said on her knees her favourite prayer.

And while on her pillow she softly lay,

She knew nothing more till again it was day;
And all things said to the beautiful sun,
"Good morning! good morning! our work is begun!

Ang Aking Guro

Masdan mo ang guro, ang taong dakila,

Mapagtiis siya’t lagging matiyaga;
Sa tungkulin niya’y lagi siyang handa,
walang tigil siya sa maghapong gawa.

Guro ko ang siyang nagturo sa akin,

Na an gating lupa ay aking mahalin,
Ako raw’y gumawa at aking sikaping
Mapaunlad itong mutyang bayan natin.

Siya ang nagturo ng kabayanihan

Ng ating Mabini, Burgos at del Pilar;
Siya ang nag-ulat ng buhay ni Rizal,

Siya ang nagturong ako’y maging tapat

Sa mga tungkuling aking ginaganap
Nagtatagumpay raw yaong masisipag,
Di raw giginhawa yaong taong tamad.

Siya ang maysabing ating tangkilikin

Yaong mga bagay na yari sa atin;
Sino pa raw yaong tutulungan natin
Kundi kababayan at kalahi na rin.

Guro ko ang aking tunay na huwaran

Siya ay maayos sa kanyang katawan,
Sa pagsasalita, siya ay magalang
At sa diwa niya’y may matutuhan.

Iyang aking guro’y isang mamamayang

Dapat ding tawaging bayani ng bayan;
Ang mga pinuno sa kinabukasa’y
Nangagdaang lahat sa kaniyang mga kamay.
