Walk On Water… my most shared poem…
Of all the poems that I have written, this one perhaps is the one that is most shared.
Shared it to some of my friends while taking the CPA review course in CPAR at Manila….
Shared it to my co-trainees while taking the officership training course at Far East Bank
Shared it to some students and teachers who gave us the Testimonial Dinner after passing the CPA Board Exam…
Share it to most people I think would appreciate it and I believe could help them…
And I’m sharing it again here…
This is actually one of my personal favorites. I wrote it while I was still taking my CPA review class way back in 1989. After attending the morning mass… inspired by the Gospel on that day… I wrote it actually for myself then… to push myself to go on with the review and take the exam… so that I won’t give up… to inspire and motivate myself to continue with my quest…
it ended up inspiring others as well…
I hope it inspires you too… here’s my poem…
WALK ON WATER
by Roy
Walk on water, as if on land,
You will not sink, you will be fine,
E’en the storm may blow a wind so strong,
And the sea my raise a tide so high,
So long as your heart is calm.
Walk on water and you will see
How great a person you can be
Through the tides of trials that blocked your path
And the winds of troubles that push you back
A great hero from you will shine
If clouds of uncertaintees darkenned your path,
And rains of frustrations fall on your heart,
Hold on for a while, but never give up.
Then keep on going, never look back,
Just keep that faith in your heart.
Walk on water, despite the storm,
Keep your heart pure, your will be strong
Be great the threat that faces you
Your great faith will help you come through
’til you reach the glorious shore.

I was moved by your poem, and even found myself with teary eyes. A good poem for a quite hopeless BSA student like me. You know what, after reading it, I revived myself. It is of great help. Thank you for sharing it.
Before i forgot to mention, I have watched you a while ago in Rated K and I was amazed by your story. Only passionate people can do that. But I hope the next time that I would read your blog (letter to mama), you’ll shown again the strength that you’ve had when you created this poem. May God bless you and your children.
