A Child's Dream

by JENNETH D. MOLINILLA
(Quezon CIty, Philippines)

Alone in the night,
on the dark aisle's side.
A child is standing,
and gazing outside.

As the moon shines above,
so lovely and bright.
The child glances up,
sees the moon light

In heaven full of stars,
twinkling in the sky.
She sees herself,
in her shadows that fly.

"I wanna be a mother,
responsible to all".
To teach every mind,
become humane and kind.
