INSPRAIRE

As I sit in the train from the big city
I remember a mentor who is so dear to me
A person who see from his compassionate lens
A person who delights in a meaningful purpose and  life's sense

He saw me and my dreams
He saw a talent hidden that no one has seen
He opened the door and fought with me
A journey to a better self this was my destiny

As I walked my days with him 
He helped me be confident and look within
Sometimes we view things as shallow
We just look at the surface we don't look outside the window

I learned to appreciate simple things
Sunrise, sunset, and a bird spreading its wings
He motivated me to encourage people
To fulfill a full life even with struggles

I had a share of the spotlight
But what people didn't know who was there all through out
Guiding me and teaching me 
To fulfill my calling and who I was meant to be

To inspire means to breath life into another
This is what you did, what can I offer?
To continue a legacy of serving wholeheartedly 
To see the beauty in every story

For the legacy of wisdom and insights
As I bid good bye, I say thank you
For touching my heart and my life
I will carry the things you taught and just be a light 

(I will miss you and you will always be in my heart sir PATRICK GAYAPA, may your soul rest in peace. I love you a lot!)

      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            ...

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...
