Trial of Mang Serapio
LETTER FROM A FRIEND
Boys----------- I am writing to say how much I care for you. I want you to know me better.
Raffy---------- When you awoke this morning. I exploded a brilliant sunrise through your window.
Boys----------- Hoping to get attention.
All------------- But you didn't even notice.
Girls---------- Later, you were walking with friends. I bathed you in warm sunshine and perfumed the air with flowers.
Boys---------- Still you didn't notice me.
All------------- So I shouted to you in a thunderstorm, and painted a beautiful rainbow. You didn't even look!
All------------ tonight, I spilled light on your face and sent a cool breeze to refresh you. As you slept, over you and shared your thoughts.
Raffy--------- But you were unaware of my presence.
All------------ I hope you will talk me soon.
Anie--------- I love you very much.
Anie---------- Your friend, JESUS.
