Mentor
My soul embarked from the Pearl of the Orient Seas
and found myself at the temple at Delphi
Apollo startled me with his astonishing prophecy:
Your voyage can never be like Odyssey's
But the sacred charge of young souls shall fructify your mind
Thus the glorious days of Greece will be forgotten
And the Golden Age will run in your veins
Just thrive and you shall find!
Zephyr's breath never hesitated to envelope my wandering thought
The Olympians and Titans bewildered me of what they brought
A reflection of a woman with her book of wisdom
Teaching at her fabulous kingdom
She doesn't resemble like Pallas Athena
But her gentleness can pacify even furious gladiators at the arena
Psyche's unsurpassed beauty is but a product of inventive mind
While this woman's splendor is a precious gift from Divine
Alas the windows of my soul rejoiced when I saw your grace
You are the epitome of a woman who worth every ink that praise
The Renaissance of my journey has just begun
yet your name will be imprinted in my heart and it's fun
The paths of our journey may separate
but everywhere I go your precious name will reverberate
My badge of honor shines because of you
My adviser, my mentor, Madam Rebecca Rosario!
CORAZON
Like a cascading waterfall that flows vigorously
your teaching is like a music that soothes our souls so peacefully
The magnificence of the blazing stars is incomparable to the splendor of your heart
Let the wings of your grandeur feel what you impart
The way you shower your pearl of wisdom
allows us to find our authentic freedom
Thus igniting our souls to weave a wonderful tapestry
Unquestionably, a spirit of real virtuoso is imprinted in the blueprint of your identity!
You share with us the recipes for inspiration
And reveal us on how to sow love for every civilization
You cultivate with us the secret ingredients in the garden of success
And water it with sublime praises
The fountains of hope you sprinkle and the spring of bliss you scatter
motivate us to excel
The vortex of ignorance is but a mirage because you are so blessed to dig deeper to find the truth hidden in every enigmatic verse
so we may unveil every unfathomable secret of this universe
You inspire us to savor every truth that every educated person must bear
Alas! The web of mystery is but a puzzle to enjoy not a labyrinth to fear
Your footprints may leave these portals
but the pillars of your excellence is a living testimony:
every part of your voyage remains a noble legacy
World may not elevate your precious name
but the silhouette of your fabulous journey
will be immortalized as we thrive on our own odyssey
To you, our dearest Dr. Corazon M. Don, whose beauty remains astonishingly
May God's infinite love envelope your soul eternally!
