Celebration of Cirilo Cena


Celebration of Cirilo Cena

by Richard Stephen Kirby (born 1949).

Hymns, Poems. 2008.


Orphans, loose and lose your fear:
Justice and its hope draws near:
See your Val* to law school go:

God says, "Yes," to Satan's "No".

Val says "Yes" to each new child;
His assent with heav'n is filed:
Val's acceptance of his calling
will protect an orphan falling.


Christ's new lawyer is at prayer;
Orphan life at last is fair:
Angels smile in Cebu City:
Val has won their loving pity.

Legal life is changing face:
crookedness replaced by grace;
Filipino Girl and Boy
Orphans all, surprised by Joy.
