Bitter Tears

One disappointment

After another –

When will this end?

Until no words,

Will ever come out

Or when it is too late?

One could only shed

Bitter tears,

With hopes that

Such pain will soon

Leave this being –

Still in one piece. 

When are you 

going to slow down - 

so that you could

see, hear and know me?

Mothers

To the 3 wonderful women

who blessed me with their

kindness, warmth and unconditional love -

I have seen God's warm and loving hands

through you.

All these 26 years

of my existence,

I could not imagine life –

without you as my

strongest pillars.

I know, I stood strong

because I was raised

and so much loved by such

wonderful and strong women.

You are truly such a gift from the Heavens.

To Mom, Iya and Tita Kuh,

thank you for introducing me

to a world where women can be someone.

For showing me that women can be

innately strong sans the macho image.

Thank you

for raising me the way you did,

for guiding me all through out,

for showing me that crying isn’t

always a sign of weakness.

Thank you for being

such wonderful models for me

and my siblings.

I know how to love

because I know what it means to be loved.

I love you!

Happy Mother’s Day!
