Much has been written about Randy Gener, a performing artist, community organizer, multi-awarded journalist, a cheerful friend and a freedom lover.
We condemn the horrifying incident on January 17 at 7th Avenue and 54th Street in Manhattan when he was badly beaten by a man from Queens who was recently arrested and identified to be a resident of Queens, New York.
Last night, I have written this poem from the editorial desk of The Filipino Express. Our way of saying, we are praying for Randy's speedy recovery.
Our readers are happy to know that Randy Gener is on the way to recovery. It will not be easy and it will not be soon.
But if we continue to storm heaven with all our prayers, a miracle will happen.
A Song for Randy Gener
We bring you prayers of good cheer
With fans and friends who love you dear
We were there at your prayer vigil
With five layered clothes as we chill
When we knew not what tomorrow brings
God revealed Himself in mysterious things
With pure hearts we offered our thanks
Randy, you are safe in His hands
Now the angels whom God had sent
Came to feel your pulse as they vent
All of us here continue to pray
That God heals you in a special way
Dear friend, miracles work even today
In our hearts we know you will be okay
When trials come, these will soon be gone
Rejoice! Here comes the bright sun
