Ilaw

Pagsilip ng araw sa bintana
Bagong umaga narito na
Bungad ay pasasalamat
Buhay patuloy na isinusulat

Pagngiti sa salamin
Hindi maikubli sa puso at isip ay inaamin
Sa paglalakbay sa iba't-ibang mundo
Natuklasan ko ang kabutihan Mo

Sa dyip, sa bus at sa tren
Sa opisina, sa lansangan at sa simbahan
Mga lugar madalas ako'y Iyong sinasamahan
Kung saan Iyong hinuhubog at tinuturuan

Madalas ako ay nagmamadali
Oras kasi ay parang nakikipagunahan palagi
Madalas din akong parang nalulunod
Sa agos na tila wala kang magawa kung hindi ang sumunod

Buti na lang Ika'y nariyan
Ika'y nagbibigay ilaw sa daan
Hindi ko alam kung saan ang patutunguhan
Ngunit ako ay maligaya kinopkop mo ako sa Iyong tahanan

Isang taong mahilig pa ring magreklamo
Sa halip na mapagpasalamat at kontento
Isang taong minsa'y hindi marunong magmahal ng tunay
Sa halip ay makasirili ipinipilit ang gusto

Minsan naiisip ko din ang sumuko
Hindi ko na kasi nakikita ang kinang ng aking puso
Ngunit Ikaw pa rin ang siyang nagaakay
Pag-asa at lakas nagmula sa Iyong mapagpalang kamay

Patawad sa lahat ng aking mga kasalanan
Mamahalin Ko Kayo magpasawalang hangganan
Kayo ang nakakalam sa aking mga daraaanan
Patuloy po Ninyo akong bigyan ng ilaw at samahan

      Donnington Grove Hotel and Country Club  Newbury RG14 2LA, United Kingdom   8 September 2024 -  A beautiful morning walk around the forest  To walk in your dream  Traveling on clouds beam  Feeling the cold autumn breeze  Enjoying an Italian drunk cheese Faces and paces switch    Different destinations reached                                                                                                             Through a woven extraordinary link  History, culture, and arts flashed in a blink  Giving you goosebumps and fuzzy feelings     Left you in awe in your meandering            ...

Morning of dad's 70th birthday- August 28, 2018 - reading my birthday message <3 <3  1.) You helped me reach for the ceiling and carried me up high when I was small. 2.)

Why I fell in love with the Metro

What happens when you pack your bag and go? To the place that you're uncertain what to sow? You take courage and watch life flow To where you're heart and soul hopes to grow Then you are there carrying the bag of dreams Walking and running toward life's realms You are there with a heart so free So close of becoming of who you want to be Surrounded by very tall buildings Composed of room where telephones ring Sounds like a new place In store is a set of new race When you are pointed in a direction thrice Follow it and don't think twice It is the course prepared for you Take the challenge for it's brand new Then when you reach the door Remind yourself there's something in store Something valuable and beautiful For you to experience a life that is full Then when you get inside Be humble and throw that pride Empty your hands out Let you be filled again with life's art Then when you are part of that race...
