For this tribute poem, my heart exclaims:
Dad: you’re my greatest human fortress, steadfast indeed The Almighty I praise for your legacy, thriving with blest breed. Mom: being the virtuous woman who molded my personhood You exemplified essence of love and wisdom in your motherhood. Siblings: Manong Rhud, Ading Bert, and Sis. Ming, “kapatids” so dear How fortunate am I to be assured of your presence so near. Relatives: cousins, aunts, uncles within and outside clan’s group chat-brace God’s blessings be with you, reached-out by His redemption grace. Mentors, teachers, leaders: your earnestness of life-building impact Keeps me fulfilling influential educator-role by faith with blissful act. Friends: Actual and virtual, online and on-site ... you're appreciated Midst your warm partnership for which I'm gratefully elated. Brethren and sisters in the Lord: let’s fulfill His will, exalting His name Serving as light and salt by His enablement, advancing heavenly aim. Orphanage family: with the Saviour’s compassion and provisions that abound You’re my home where His grace is maximized till we hear the trumpet sound. The ALPHA AND OMEGA of my being: Without YOU, my GOD, I’m nothing Since You’re my life, my all-sufficiency*; thanks for everything.
*2Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God. November 11, 2020

Beata, Very nice message in this poem. You found a voice that resonates for all those you love. Sometimes we take them for granted., as if they will never change, and will always remain. May you always remain blessed. -Richard
