The Guardians

You came and faded in the rising sun like snow
But left my heart a glow
Your smile was ever golden and pure 
Like the heart of your nurture

You shed tears so my hopes and dreams will show 
Even though the wheel of fate was slow 
You poured your sweat and blood on loam
So this young soul would not roam 

I wish you stayed longer to see me grow 
But deep in my heart I know 
One day I shall feel those loving arms again freely 
May it be for eternity 

For your memory never failed to guide my dream
Though I see you no more 
I feel your hope like a stream 
Like surging waves on the shore


In memory of my grandparents Vicente and Antonina
