Tears

If every tear fall diminishes every pain

And cease to be a mirror of one's soul's distress

If the amount of tears shed for each heartbreak 

Has a fixed volume, proportional to the wound's depth

If every tear drop would waste away every tragic memory

And delete the heaviness each day

Then I can lie in wait and hope

And spend some waking moments drowning in tears

Then I can lie in wait and hope

That one tomorrow I would have drained it all

Then I can lie in wait and hope

That one day tears would stop to fall

Isang sulyap sa nakaraan
Isang ngiti
Isang katerbang iyak
Isang araw na

New

Today I learned the hard truth that a face can hide a thousand lies and truths.
Today I learned that sad fact that there are a million ways to hurt one's heart, over and over again.
Today I am resolved to re-plan my life and pray.
Tomorrow, I will start again .
Tomorrow, I will unlearn unimportant things and focus on who and what matters.
Tomorrow, I will love. I will hope. I will trust. I will have faith.
Tomorrow, I will start anew.

Hush

Hush little sister, don't you cry

Give your tears a new purpose, give your tears a new life

Sing little sister, let your notes fly

Let your soul flow through the harmony of your heart

Laugh little sister, grin through your eyes

Pour out your joy through the cadence of your smiles

Lovely Day

Even if I'm living a relatively normal life

And my activities excite only my mom

Even if I won't pass as a beauty queen

Sans a paycheck as big as my peers

Even if I'm as single as a nun

Or haven't travelled far

Despite the daily crunch and hullabaloo

Despite the stress and stretch marks

I am happy. I am loved. I am blessed. Everyday is a lovely day. :)

Thank you, Jesus, for giving me a happy heart.

Dear Kisame,

Kamusta ka? Malapit ko na namang makabisa ang kinaroroonan ng lahat ng agiw mo. Bukod sa ilang dagdag na gabok, nananatili kang kimi. Tititigan na naman kita ng matagal ngayong gabi. Ikaw na tanging saksi sa lahat ng mga ngiti, kilig, galit, hinagpis at hikbing kubli sa lahat. Tititigan ko na naman ang maraming pulgadang layo mo sa akin habang ika'y tahimik na nakikinig sa bawat pagpatak ng luha. Susubukan ko muling abutin ang iyong kinaroroonan, gaya ng pilit na pag-abot ng aking isip sa mga sagot sa katanungan. Pilit kong uunawain ang mga naganap ngunit muling mabibigo. Bagkus, manatili akong blanko, gaya ng iyong reaksyon.

Days as such

There are happy days
Those that make you float in the sky
But there are sad days
Days that make you curl up and cry

During those days it's important to cope
To live one day at a time
To fight one battle at a time
To harness more faith
To build more strength of heart

During the dark and dreary days it's important to pray
For a wise and discerning heart
For clarity behind two hazy eyes
For the will to surrender
For peace that we can't understand

During those days you cry, you bleed, you mumble
But during those days you put off giving up
You grip onto His promises until the bleeding stops
You raise your arms until the rivers of tears dry up
And you rest soundly in His hand



Every day is a blessing
