VIVA SR. STO. NIÑO VIVA!

By Judith T. Tindog

Holy Child devotees far and near,
Pay homage, adoration, thanksgiving.
Shout in glee loud and clear,
On top of their voices every January.
Viva Senior Sto. Niño, Viva!

Explore the colorful streets,
Covered by revelers and bystanders.
The power praise explodes,
Along with the dominant jolly sound of drums,
Viva Senior Sto. Niño, Viva!

Faith! Celebration! Homecoming!
Ati Atihan festival in Aklan makes it happen.
Warm people of Altavas, Batan, Ibajay, Makato, the Kalibonhons,
Welcome one and all with pride and honor.
Viva Senior Sto. Niño, Viva!

Look back on what has been,
Some memories may not be pleasant.
But life must go on and start anew,
Hold on to God’s promise.
“The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you.”
