The Master's Sunrise

THANKSGIVING MEMORY

When the sun rises,
the horizon is abundant with shadow of cheers.
Creeping in the infinite glow of heaven.
Sensational color of spectacular hues,
gazing and beckoning me.
How grandeur it is to watch God's magical hand,
It is the Master's Sunrise.
Enveloping the universe, all creatures, on earth,
mountains, seas...great or small,
dancing and rejoicing in unison voices of gladness.
I see the Master's Sunrise glowing over.
I am ready for a new day to begin, to behold,
and get enchanted by God's bountiful blessing.
So I smile and raise my heart and soul above,
and utter a word of thanks and gratitude.
Because it is another day to grasp and to live.
Thank you God for the restful night,
I welcome this new day of gift and wonder.
Another day granted and it is,
my Master's Sunrise!

A Son Is Born

A Son Is Born

A son is born.
Pure, gentle and angelic.
A mother's pride and happiness,
I thank the Lord He gave me a son,
A star of my eyes, diamond of my heart.
His glow sparkles like three of his sisters.
They're precious gems deeply encrusted,
in my cherished bosom; my reason for living.
We all celebrate this awesome blessing.
I will not forget at time of his birth,
his father knelt down his crib and sofly uttered,
"Thank you God for my handsome son!"
Thirty seven years ago, he gently arrived
chronicling his life's cheerful journey.
He is now a man and a father too,
to two beautiful and wonderful daughters.
With joy in his heart he spreads his wings,
embracing all the mystery of life.
Now I know with a deep thought, he will survive,
because my born son is a great man!

Goodbye, Mother

Goodbye, Mother

Goodbye, mother goodbye...
My heart is in pain and
my soul in despair because you left me.
Goodbye, mother, goodbye...
My being is now like a beautiful flower
whose blossoms disappeared, as you bid me adieu.
Goodbye, mother, goodbye...
I bid you adieu; such endless love and care
I forever will miss.
"Grieve not my children",
a voice from behind,
"God opened His door...
I joined Him forever.
Cry no more for I am with the Lord,
with His angels and saints, we're rejoicing with praise!"
And now I let go... such sorrow and pain,
Goodbye, mother, goodbye....
My beloved mother I bid you adieu;
hello to memories that we eternally share.

The Man I Betrothed

Oh! what a beautiful day and a wonderful feeling!
Today is the first day of my life,
as I am betrothed to the man that I love.
A life with the man that I love!
Today is the first day of my life,
with the man of my dreams, a GOD-sent.
Peppered with dignity, unblemished and celestial!
The man of my life, the man of my dream.
I dreamt as a child, Cinderella was I,
looking and finding for a handsome prince charming.
Suddenly, appeared a queenly God fairy
and spawned her dazzling and magical wand.
With a glass slipper in his delicate hands,
my prince charming appeared and
slipped into my foot, the glittering slipper.
Yes, this is the beginning of a new life for me!
With the man that I love,
kneeling next to me, like a stately bamboo tree,
so handsome, so real.
Today is the beginning of my new life
with the man I betrothed.
Today is the beginning of my life,
to embrace and to hug the love of my life.
Yes, the fondest thought of him is kept forever.
In the chest of my memory, in the reality of my dream.
Today is the beginning of my life
with my king, my beloved who I dearly love.
The man I betrothed till the end of my life.
