Tuwing Umaga

Sa paglapat nitong

Plantsadong polo shirt

Sa aking katawan,

Di maikaila

Ng kalamnan ko

Ang init ng ‘yong yakap;

Sa pagdampi nitong bibig

Sa labi ng tasa

Ng umaasong kape,

Nanunuot sa panlasa

Ang timpladong pait

At tamis ng ‘yong halik.

Akma ang lapat

At tama ang lasa

Ng pagsuyo mo, sinta.
