The Proverbs 31 Woman
The Proverbs 31 Woman
She's a woman who fears the Lord
Gets up before daylight
Preparing food for her family
A hard worker, she knows the value
Of everything she makes
Very focused in everything she does
She knows very well
That her family will be blessed
With the fruits of her labor
A passionate lover of God
Adored by her husband
Whose beauty comes from within
And her unfading beauty of a gentle and quite spirit
She makes it a point
To remind everybody
That life is beautiful

Our Miracles
OUR MIRACLES
it is a miracle
when we wake up in the morning
with a smile to greet the morning sunrise
no matter our worries
and can end the day with a ray of hope
to bid goodbye to sunset
knowing that you have a great Provider
it is the miracle of life
you are not alone
you have the miracle of friendship,
love and working together
this is the greatest miracle
the miracle we take for granted
people who are humble,
who listen and forgive
looking at things and taking a fresh perspective

One Special Gift This Christmas
Sounds of Christmas carols
from little boys and girls
singing with their heart’s delight
hopping from one house
to another
a Filipino tradition
caroling with the hope
of receiving a simple Christmas blessing
to buy food on Christmas eve
in a hospital bed
lays a four month old baby
with a hole in his heart
medicines and staff holding him in suspense
this little baby boy, if he grows up
could be one of those
doing the rounds in his village
singing Christmas carols on Christmas eve

You Loved Me Before You Meet Me
cover my scarlet lips with your kisses
i wanted to taste it like wine
i am breathless listening, savoring
you are my heartbeat
take me with you, we'll run away
to let lose, to be happy in love
you and me, against the world,
you and me, against my family
you have loved me before you meet me
you saw me dancing in the wind
laughing and singing
my eyes shine with so much love
filling the air with fragrance of my song
your warm embrace caught me by surprise
telling me i will be your wild flower in the dessert
your comfort in the scorching heat of the sun
promising to come back, and be your permanent bride

You led my way into a brighter and less troubled day
Reading your lovely writes and comments each day
Giving me the courage to try and believe

A Little Son's Promise
As i was wheeled to the operating room
His little voice still lingered in my ears
The anesthesia was successfully done
And before i went into a deep sleep
I can still see his face in the waiting room
Worried, with tears in his eyes
But showed his bravery for me
We were alone in my hospital bed
Waiting for the doctors to come
I was having a miscarriage
Nervous and fear painted my face
My little boy was holding my hands
Touching my head, stroking my hair
With his soft voice, he whispered
'Don't be afraid, I am here,
I will take care of you, Mama
This promise of a little boy

Next In Line
when you face life's problems and adversities
and come to God in prayer
waiting and waiting to no end
remember that God never comes too soon or late
you are next in line to the person ahead of you
yes next time you are next in line
to that person in front of you
God in His infinite wisdom
knows that, that person is in dire need than you are
his problems might be bigger and his faith is stronger
trust in His words and be thankful
little things or in big things, be grateful
He might be teaching
you to be patient
to wait on Him
to quiet your aching heart
then you will be filled with inner peace
if you only trust His plans for you

Heart Print
leaving a heart print
behind my poetry
is more than leaving
a treasure
a rare treasure
forever etched in my heart
it is more
than the highest rating that I got
even if some words
are not too deep to utter
nor in a sophisticated manner
but simple words to convey
giving my simple voice behind
it is in writing poetry
that we capture in words our feelings
the magic of human life and emotions
we wanted to convey,

Candle Of Hope
I light this candle of hope
For the people in Mindanao
Particularly in Maguindanao
A southern part in our country, the Philippines.
I light this candle of hope
For the weeping child, for the abused
For the weak women, tortured and some buried alive
I light this candle of hope
For the widows, widowers, orphans
for the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers.
This Christmas, I know it will be very hard
To celebrate Christmas with joy in your heart
It is not easy to lose a loved one.
Your tears will be gone, in His time
Your broken heart will be whole
Just keep that faith inside in each one of you

Forever A Friend
You have accepted me for what i am
In sickness and in pain, you were always there for me
Your heart is bigger than my hurts
Your love is wider than the sea
Where in this world can i find
A friend as caring and as loving as you
You always give me the sunshine
You always give me the sunset
Forever a friend, that i promise you
For better or for worse, i will care for you
I will give you a song that comes from my heart
A song of love, a song of joy
When my world seems to turn around
When i am down, nowhere can I be found
You will always find me. promising
To hold me and lift my feet up from the ground
