ni Corazon de Jesus

Bawat palo ng martilyo sa bakal mong pinapanday
Alipatong nagtilamsik, alitaptap sa karimlan
Mga apoy ng pawis mong sa balak ay kumikinang,
Tandang ikaw ang may gawa nitong buong Santinakpan.

Nang tipakin mo ang bato ay natayo ang katedral
nang pukpukin mo ang tanso ay umugong ang batingaw,
Nang lutuin mo ang pilak, ang salapi a lumitaw,
Si puhunan ay gawa mo, kaya ngayon’y nagyayabang.

Kung may ilaw na kumisap ay ilaw ng iyong tadyang,
Kung may gusaling naangat, tandang ikaw ang pumasan;
Mula sa duyan ng bata ay kamau mo ang gumalaw,
Hanggang hukay ay gawa mo ang krus na nakalagay.

Kaya ikaw ay marapat kailain at itanghal,
Pagkat ikaw ang yumari nitong buong kabihasnan…..
Bawat patak ng pawis mo’y yumayari ka ng dangal,
dinadala mo ang lahi sa luklukan ng tagumpay.

Mabuhay ka nang buhay ng walang wakas,
walang hanggan;
At hihinto ang pag-ikot nitong mundo
pag namatay.

  

"Our Heaven Above" 
by: Tina R. Lizama 


      I never thought I'd find the one, 
      then again I never met you Until now.  
      And I thank the Lord each day and each night too
      For leading my heart to yours and yours to mine. 
      Traveling across the distance and throughout all of time
      To bring us closer together, as lovers and as friends
      As separate hearts once before, as a single heart in the end 
      You touched my life and made me whole
      Deep within and throughout my lonely soul
      Showing me loneliness never more
      By turning the key to unlock my heart's door 
      You walked into my life and into my heart
      Making me feel we're not worlds apart
      And etching a symbol of your love
      Showing me Our Heaven Above 
      I dreamt with you and you dreamt with me
      Together we became the best we could be
      You brightened my days and filled my nights
      You forgave my wrongs and commended my rights 
      And when I stumbled you took my hand
      With your strength, you helped me stand
      You taught me to strive, you taught me to live
      But most importantly, I learned how to give 
      Of my love, of my life, and of myself because of you
      I learned how to feel and say what is true
      So I say to you now, my true love
      Thank you for showing me Our Heaven Above! 
                                                                                   
  


  

Voice of Reason 
By:  Nanie

 
Mere words could not adequately
express how I feel for you .
You are the light in my life.
You are the Voice of Reason in my life. 
You are the cure to all my fears and tears.
It's all because of YOU.
I sometimes wonder how something
so special could happen to me. 
I sometimes wonder if my love for you is real.
I sometimes wonder if this is fate, destiny and or karma.
Then, I realize all these feelings deep inside of me is TRUE.
It's all because of YOU.
 
You taught me to smile often
You taught me to be strong
You taught me how to love
You taught me togetherness
It's all because of YOU.
 
Because of YOU, I believe in YOU.
I believe in our LOVE.
I believe we can move mountains.
I believe nothing is impossible
It's all because of YOU.
 
I thank God each day for all the blessings he has bestowed to ME.
I thank my lucky stars for guiding you to me.
I believe my destiny is being fulfilled
It's all because of YOU.
 
You are my morning dew when I wake up
You are my malakis when i am feeling down
You are my voice of reason when in doubt
You are the my sunshine when it is gloomy.
It's all because of YOU.






Forever Love

MY DREAM 
Mary Lou Rogers 6/19/99

A poem I recently read was meant for me  

Yes, my dream will soon be my reality  

I'd never want to be naked on any beach  

But my lifetime goal is now within my reach.  

I dreamed of filling the educational gap  

And the videos to do it will soon lie in my lap  

People of every nationality, age, color and creed  

Will soon have my videos to fulfill their need.  

No longer will ignorance be thought of as bliss  

Because what I'm producing simply cannot miss  

First I'll teach math, and prove that it's fun  

Then I'll teach reading and writing to everyone.  

Yes, the dream that I have is a special one, no need to sob**  

My dream is a dream that no one can rob  

I can feel that God is with me, right by my side  I can see how my life He is trying to guide.
