It is Sr. Roseve Balagat's birthday (April 26). I wrote an acrostic for her and gave her a copy . I hope she will have many years to bloom and to scent. It goes this way: 

Roseve
by Ronel L. Alijado
Rose of Earth blooming and scenting sweetness
Of worms writhing to be winged to reach the Light.
Sun's rays you are - petals
Easing thorns of metamorphosis - the crawl, the chrysalis, the wait.
Verses of this rose sing two hands, heart, and Bible.
Enrapturing the blind, the deaf, the ill, and the hopeless.
