 HELEN by: Edgar Allan Poe
I like this poem because it's all about the inner
and outer beauty of a woman like Helen. And for me as a
woman, though I'm not perfect I'm trying my best to be a
woman beautiful out and inside not to impress men and
others but this is the right thing and God wants it. God
will be glorified if His daughters are walking in the right
path with a kindness hearts. Also the women who are
steadfast and dependable who have courage and who
are trustworthy by all. I'm praying to God that He help
me to be a woman that can be trusted and have courage
to do anything despite the difficulties. And of course I
don't want to acquire richness such as money, jewelry
and accessories because according to the Bible, these
things are not important for all the people, the most
important is the faith with God and living righteously
according to the will of God. Whatever if a woman having
a lot of money, accessories and jewelry then if her
attitude is bad, her beauty has no sense. Because I do
believe to this saying: " Blessed is the woman whose
richness is in God and in her heart.
I MADE A MAN by: Jose Garcia Villa
 I'm so thankful to my creator, my Heavenly Father.
He made me unique, fearfully and wonderfully as the
Bible states. My creator is no other than God(Yahweh)
my loving and caring God and He was so powerful and
magnificent God. I do appreciate God's masterpieces and
creatures but in the poem man failed to appreciate the
works of God. They leaned on their ability not on God.
Though other people didn't appreciate God for all He've
done I will always do and I'm so thankful because He
allow me to live on this Earth and glimpsing all the Lord's
creatures. The beautiful scenery, different kinds of
animals in water and in land. Different places, languages,
colors of the skin of every people. In short the beautiful
world. What marvelous God I have!. His creatures
revealed that He is a wonderful God and can do anything
just like human, every person is unique having a different
faces, hair colors and beautiful and handsome man and
woman. I love my creator, I want to serve Him as long as
I live on this Earth, doing all my best to my Lord and
Savior Jesus.
NIGHT by: Wole Soyinka
 I'm so blessed that I have a New World to come
while waiting. Though I'm suffering to this world because
of the problems and difficulties of this life, I always have
hope to Jesus Christ because He will come again to take
all His followers who have faith on Him. While living on
this Earth, there is like a lion who always want to attack
me in my Christian living, satan itself wants to deceive
me so that my faith on God will disappear.
Night means that it is the time for all the people to
rest because of stress and working hard. And also the
angels of the Lord brings blessings to all who believes
and pray to God and obeying God's commands. Night
represents as darkness in this world because of sin. This
world is full of sin; adultery, killings, crimes, stealing, etc.
But I have a New World to come. I will be with God
eternally and will forever praising Him. I'm so excited to
see Jesus face to face and living on Heaven without fear,
problems, sorrows and sufferings.

SONNET 29 by: William Shakespeare

 Life was very challenging. There's so much
problems and trials. I was born poor and my parents are
farmers. We don't have beautiful house and we lack of
money. Sometimes I questioned God, why my family is
like this, why are not rich just like others?. But when I
truly accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior I did
not question Him again, instead I have shown gratitude
to God for my life and for my family that He gave to me.
And now I always appreciate God for all He've done and
asking for His help and guidance when I face problems.
God blesses me more than I ask, also my whole family.
And now our lives had been progressed, I have a soldier's
brothers and for now we have a new house that was
finishing. Also by the grace of God I will be teacher
someday so I can also help my family. When I let God
dwell in my life, many things have changed.

THE NECKLACE by: Guy de Maupassant

 It's not a wrong thing to be rich. It is wrong if this
richness will put us into temptation to do bad. Every
people must be contented for what they have. By the
grace of God and praying, He teached me to be
contented of what I have. I don't want richness because
richness will lead people to wickedness and can separate
me to my Heavenly Father. Whatever I have now, I will
appreciate and treasure specially the love of God for me,
His free salvation to the sinners like me. My family also,
friends, relatives and other acquaintance they are
important to me. I want to be true to myself not
pretending that I have more money and jewelry.
Richness is not important it will disappear even we like it
or not. When we are going to die, we cannot bring our
money, beautiful houses, cars, and jewelries. Our
richness in God, accepting Jesus in our lives, serving Him
and doing His commands will bring us into Heaven. So let
me fix and focus my attention to God.

GOD SEES THE TRUTH BUT WAITS

 by: Leo Tolstoy
Sometimes I blame God when things seems so
wrong without knowing that He did everything good for
me. As it is written in God's love letter to me; Romans
8:28, For all things are work together for good of those
who love God and are called according to His purpose.
God is in control, He will never leaver me nor forsake me.
I experienced pains because of every wrong choices I
made, so I need to trust God and let His plan be done in
my life.
Truth is very important for all. Everyone wants to
have justice and truth when things are not good.
Specially those who was accused as a criminal but not
true. God saw everything and He was not blind, He
knows all things. When people pray to God to get justice
and truth, we must wait patiently because God has a
purpose for everything. He will answer everyone's prayer
if anyone trust and believe on Him. I will always trust and
believe on God. I pray that everyone who need justice
and truth get it. I hope that they wait patiently to God's
answer.
