Poem
Romancing Distant Moments I am romancing with distant moments Distance, I keep trying to connect by dreaming In a time difference, so hard to get a full time so meant For my child and wife, I longed for reaching God is so kind bestowing us a child As we never thought we could have at least one The passing of time charmed and leave us beguiled But in prayers, answered us by granting us a son We gave him a Christian name Pio Noel Derived from the name of Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina And Noel from my name, a kind idea of my wife Cecille A name he will carry as his insignia I listened to their voice over the cell phone Or watched their videos, I took during my last vacation Still longing for more moments for them to be shown To alter depression with a deep sign of elation Through messages, I cherish the distant moments As my wife will relay to me my child’s notable deeds As I record every detail in my diary as my attunement Of his daily childish act finely registered on my head For a picture of a table, Pio tells ‘it is a table’ For a picture of a chair, Pio tells ‘it is a sit’ My wife will not dare to show him that it is laughable But gave him a nice lecture to improve his wit Whenever he sees his grandfather with fellow friends He will run to them and kiss their hands as a sign of respect An instance, my wife eagerly drew a rabbit using a crayon pen And hardly could be identified as rabbit, but Pio proudly said ‘rabbit’ in all aspect (My wife kissed him and said ‘Pio you are very clever because even though my drawing is hardly could be noticed as a rabbit but still, you interpreted it very well’) At the age of 1 year and 6 months, Pio knows how to save money Upon seeing coins inside my wife’s bag, he got this in his hand And pointed into a small piggy bank and dropped in the coins so eagerly Dirty clothes out of the basket, he will put this back without a command Every time my wife’s cell phone will beep or ring Pio immediately bring this to my wife and tell her that father text Pio is fond of watching television and get a chance to lip-sync He enjoyed for someone blowing on his tummy and asked his mother to play suplex Upon entering our room, Pio will point to our family picture And loudly will recite ‘this is Pio, mother, and father’ Every distant moment of them, I need to capture While away, I am romancing distant moments sweeter but farther
