My Provider

Mind was like a sheet of paper
A white and a clean matter
I knew nothing until you came
And you wrote something.

Knowledge you fill out
Now I am proud
I have now the courage
to face the world like a sage.

I was an ignorant
Love to play and run
You planted like a peasant
Now I am a proud man.

Knowing the world’s so vast
And time runs so fast
You equip your self with things
I need in my learning.

Forever thankful to thee
Ready to walk with glee
Knowing you’re always there
Thank you, you’re a good provider.

Youth

I wonder who I am
In the years to come.
I am so small;
I wonder if I’ll conquer them all.
I wonder if I’ll stand out
Among the youth in the crowd.
I want them to be proud;
I want to shout it loud.
I want to be noticed
But I don’t want them to get pest.
I want to share
But no one cares.
I want to show the world
That I have something to prove.
And I want them to know
That in me hopes overflows.
I am proud to say
That I have something to convey
That country’s future is in my hands
And I bear it in mind.
For I am a youth;
I am the country’s hope.

Mi Idolo Rizal

You had shown the world
What the Filipinos can do
You gave inspiration
To those who lose hope
You have opened
The closed eyes of your fellowmen
And contributed tremendously
To the formation of our nationality.


From your writings
Filipinos are awakened
Because of you our dreams
With calm heart we’ll reach
And sincerely we thank you
Grateful that you’re proclaimed
As the foremost hero of Philippines.


Many wish to be like you
Who devotedly love our patria
You willingly sacrificed your life
To awaken the minds of the people
Of your oppressed country
Your leadership was great;
You lead us to eternity.


Despite of your sufferings
You never gave up
In your fineness exquisite spirit,
The nobility of your quixotic heart
The sentiment and aspiration
Of our nation who suffers you stand.


O, Rizal, how great you are
No other Filipino could surpass
The degree of learning of yours
Is the same as those great men;
Like Descartes on philosophy
And Reclus in geography
You’re such a blessed son
Of our motherland.

****

You received praises
From your colleagues and friends
And inspired your countrymen
As well as the world
As Regidor once said
That your book was superior
If we are to compare
To the works of other Filipino authors
Your Noli Mi Tangere
Had made you immortal
Like Cervantes on his Don Quixote.


It is nice to hear
From the tongue of the foreigners
Those praises of your greatness
As Blumentritt had said
Your appearance in the world
Was like a rare comet,
Whose brilliance appears only
Every other century.


The patriotic deed of yours
We’ll glorify forever
Your sufferings shall always remember
In our hearts your memory
Will remain eternally
We shall follow your footsteps
To protect our country
Against the tyranny.

Six Years

It was six years ago when I first saw you
And it was six years ago when I loved you.

It was six years ago when I started to wait;
Patiently waited with thy love so great.

It was six years ago when I started to fall
And it was when you broke my heart.

It was six years then when my heart grew tired
And finally decided to stop loving you.

Six years after when you say “I love you!”

But it was the time when I totally forgotten you.

To My Lover

I have not known the world lies
From the day I opened my eyes
Only your smile I see
That brought joy to me.

It was a wonderful day of April
With the sky so blue and winds gentle breeze;
Birds were singing a song so merry
That adds music to my world so still.

About the world I knew nothing
My mind was like a clean sheet of paper
Which is pure and clear
You painted it with thy teachings.

From the day I was born I knew nothing
But you taught me everything
From crawling to walking;
From baby cries to words for communicating.

Because of thy effort and love
My hunger of knowledge you fill out
Taught me how to write and to reason out
Now, look, who am I today?

Because of thy heart so pure
Overflowing love you pour
So I’ll grow stronger like a tree
And I am thankful to thee.

Falling for You Friend

I never noticed you before
How you look and how you talk
Definitely no interest at you at all
But now that I have known you more
And I am starting to fall.

Since then I started to hate this feelings I feel
Because I know it is not for real.
But the stars are starting to fall;
Meteor shower had just begun
And I know this time
I’ll cry for the second time.

I don’t know how it happen
I just woke up one morning
And realized that I’m falling for you friend.
When I realized these new bloomed feelings
I tried to hide it and I tried to resist it
But I would be a liar if I’ll deny
For the truth I am starting to love you more
More than what we have now.

Oh, how I hate the feeling like this.
But what can I do to stop this foolishness?
How could I stop my self looking at those eyes
That are like stars in heaven twinkling?
Oh, I just can’t stop staring
If I would have seen those smiles
That are so wonderful to look at.

Oh, how I wish I could stop my self loving you
But it’s getting stronger as time had pass.
Don’t you worry be happy
Because I won’t do anything that could harm you.
Just let me love you secretly
Because it’s enough for me that you are near
And I could call you dear even if it’s not for real.

Empty

The sky is so blue
I feel lonely without you
The winds strong blows
Wishing we’re together and close.

As the flowers starts to bloom
In the garden’s womb
I am here alone
Feeling lost at my room.

I stared at nowhere
In its end I saw you there
I heard your voice somewhere
Whispered my name sweetly on my ear.

I walked in the middle of the forest
Hoping that I’ll find you in its breast
But I’m alone in the midst of nowhere;
Alone in the midst of despair.

How I wish you’re here
How I wish we’re together
To fill my heart’s emptiness;
To take away this loneliness.

Oh, fly high my heart’s desire
Take me into his arms
Forever I shall soar
This love of mine surely yours.
