Ilongot Baliwayway

My son, now that you are still young,

I compare you to a blooming flower,
But, when you grow to be a big man,
Maybe you will be a naughty youth;
But though my suspicions are like that,
I just bear them all

Because, if you will grow, and have a long life,

You shall take care of me when i grow old
I am then urging you to sleep
So that I can go out to the field and work,
To plant; so we may have something to reap, to sustain our life:
So that you will grow easily.
And if you will grow to be a man, my son, you shall take my place on the farm.

You shall climb the tall trees in my stead;

Cut the branches and the trunk,
So that we shall have some place to plant rice
To sustain us, while we are still alive

EXERCISE:

WRITE A REFLECTION ABOUT THE POEM IN RELATION TO REAL LIFE SETTING.
