Saklolo, San Pedro Calungsod!
Ako po'y katulad niyo na nangaral din lamang
At layong ituwid ang ilang mga hakbang
Ngunit panganib ang siyang umabang
Itinuring na sigalot ng iba
Naging masakit sa kanilang mga mata
Kaya aking mga hakbangin ay sinawata
Inihulog sa dagat na malalim
Kung saan pag-ahon ay marilim
Tuluyang bumulusok pailalim
Maaaring ako'y hindi na makaahon
Tuluyang igugupo upang maturan din ng leksiyon
‘Di narin mahahampas pa ng mga alon
Subalit habang nariyan po kayo
Ako'y nananalig at hihingi ng saklolo
Nawa'y mapakinggan at matulungan po ako!

-Ikatlong Pagsubok sa Magiging Prinsipe-
36 Ang ikatlong pagsubok ay palamangan
Ng mga lamang-dagat na pahulihan
37 Paramihan sa tingin
Pabigatan sa timbangin
38 Ito ang pagsubok na itinadhana
Para sa magigng prinsipe sa tuwina
39 Sinasabing diwata'y tumutulong
Sa sinumang may pinkamaraming naikukulong
40 Sa kanilang lambat na inilalatag
Sa mga alon na sa dagat papag
41 Magsisimula ang hamon kapag umaga'y lumitaw
Magtatapos sa paglubog ng araw
42 Nang sabay-sabay bumalik ang tatlong lalaki
Si Agus ang may pinakamarami at mabigat na huli.

A soft melody quietly comes into my head
It brings back memories and things I unfortunately should have said
A warm summer night a hint of a breeze
The gentle touch of his hand in mine
All felt so right yet, it was all not to be
I was a young girl broken hearted and sadly alon
He was this young man who gave me his courage to be strong
We were the perfect couple almost everyone agreed
He gave me happiness and joy
I vowed I would love him eternally
And then suddenly one day it happened
And after that moment the perfect couple sadly came to an end
And though years have passed and I think of him still
I still remember that young boy who in my darkest hour was there for me
He was my knight of shinning amour
He was my Bobby
From the high peak of the middle years
We walk downwards slowly but it’s clear.
We lose our parents siblings other kin
Who will now agree we are born to win?
Our bodies stiffen while we’re yet alive
Who will die,atone,does God decide?
From the man he takes the caring wife
The heart itself will harden in the strife
Last Man standing is a bag of bones
In his grave the king decays alon
Magkasama nating tinupad ang ating mga panaginip...
panaginip na makamtan ang tunay na pag-ibig.
ikaw at ako, magkahawak-kamay, masayang humabi
mga pangarap na sana'y ating pinagsasaluhan sa araw at gabi.
humabi tayo ng panaginip
nakiisa sa masidhi nating pag-ibig
nagpatangay sa daloy ng pagniniig
alon ng pangarap naging totohanang panaginip!
hindi lang miminsan tayo ay namasyal
dinala mo ako sa lugar na kay banal
humarap tayo sa Diyos ng marangal
ipinagpasalamat ang pag-iibigang hangal!
hangal...bakit hindi?
ikaw at ako nasa dulo ng magkabilang mundo,
nagmahalan, harang ay pilit iginupo
panandaliang pagsasama ninamnam ng husto
isinantabi ang mali, nanaig sigaw ng puso!
kung TAYO ay isang magandang panaginip
hiling ko kay Bathala huwag na ako'ng gisingin sa pagkakaidlip
sapagkat kapag ikaw at ako ay magkapiling
sa totohanang panaginip kapwa'y wala nang mahihiling!
ah...lalagi ka'ng panaginip
na kailanma'y di maaalis sa aking isip!
Inner Whispers
I am a nurse by profession,
A poet by passion,
Keep my faith in God above,
Indeed, all of them I love.
My heart is never dread,
Message of the Lord I spread,
View life in a positive way
And no regrets every day.
Strive to be inspiring,
Thankful for the blessing,
In God's name,
I'll make Him very fame.
When I look into your eyes,
I see a thousand stars in the sky.
You're the smile on my face,
My dreams and my hope.
When you hold me in your arms,
I can't resist your charms.
When my day is not okay,
You try to make me happy.
When I feel the weight of the world,
You're the one that I need.
You're my world, you're my life,
You are everything to me.
My darling, my love,
Will you always be mine?
Written by : Alon Calinao Dy
I am Alon Dy,
Son of Mila and Tong Dy,
Brother of Kissy and Milton Dy,
Who loves his wife and his family.
I am a nurse
Who touches the hearts and minds of the patients,
Who stands and fights for what is right,
Who knows his limits as a nurse.
I am a dreamer
Who has always option one, two, and three.
I never quit, as it is not in my vocabulary.
Just because others throw their hands up and cry,
Doesn't mean I'll just leave it high and dry.
I feel bad that some people are ignorant,
Talking *****behind your back like this and that
These people need to realize,
I do not mind and I do not care.
Backbiting, prejudice and hatred,
These are negative attitudes that need to eliminate.
Trust me, people still change and
Do this now while there is time.
So please, it is not too late.
Once again, I am Alon Dy
Who fears no one except God.
I understand I cannot please everybody.
I admit I make mistakes sometimes.
I say sorry, but still,
Need to love each and everyone.
I'm aware I have many friends.
I know I select only few.
I understand, yet wonder why I'm like this.
It's plain and simple,
Few of them are true.
i lay here inaging you next to me as i hear you breath on the phone. i smile when
you wake uo and tell me i love you. as i whisper i back i love you, you fall asleep. A
soft giggke keaves my lips and i know im not alon. When i close my eye i see us
living a happy life. if i close them and i see hate and darkness you wake me up and
tell me im here for you and i smile as i imagine you giving me a kiss. i love you so
much that you give me hope even when the grim is next to me. As i lay here
listening to you sleep i smile knowing im not alone.
They want me to fail
So they can laugh and mock me
They want me to cry in anguish every night
Just so they can mock me
I walked aroun givin' my hand to people
And in return seek the day when a knife down
Deep past my spine into core
Burned with passion of "I'll never forget"
So this day I still wait for hell- fired tongues
Plead for drops of water
They want me to hate how I was created
21 years turnin 22 I have scoured this earth
Only to gather dissapproval
I turned my head away from the storm
Yet the hurricane put me in the middle
He wants me to be angry with him...
God that is, he knows how I wished
Many switching moons and gassed stars ago
How I hated the way he molded
Others demeanor to me
Unwrapped turmoil, and buried me alon wit it
They want me to moan ...
OHHHHH!!!!!!!! God ! how I hurt so bad
Now even you I disappointed in stress
It's breakin down my soul
And I watched it dance away to the Devil's palm
They want me to hate me
But too late! I already do
In the middle of the night,
I'm scared to be alone.
Outside in the dark,
I'm scared to be alon.
You hurt me and make me cry,
leave seen and unseen scares all over.
You make me feel like dirt beneath your feet.
You have this greater streanth that no one else can feel,
but me.
You hurt me.
Over and over again.
But in the end when you know I'm helpless and scared,
All I Need Is You.
I see tanks rolling down the street
Leaving clouds of dust at our feet.
I see marching men following close behind
Fathers, sons and brothers all out of their minds.
I see mothers, daughters, sisters crying alon.
Come fight, our goverment says, come fight
Your country needs you, what a sight.
Who asked for this war, did we?
It is wrong, can't you see?
It's nothing but a massacre, killing thousands!
All people say: "We want peace!"
If this is so let the fighting cease.
Who decides what's worng or right
Presidents decide what's black and white.
Bullets passing by, bombs lighting up the night sky!
Look and see, open your eyes
Our men are dying, say your goodbyes.
Fel your body going cold, blood gushing through the holes
The war has come to our homes, we have sold our souls.
What for we ask?
Please hear us now.
Stop the wars!!!
all discoveries bear themselves
to little value
all past knowledge
has fallen
so many raining pieces
the shattered glass
of the newly known
expectation falls silent
in the eyes
of the blind goddess's glass
as she scrys
her silence unfathomed
her voice
unheard
what meets her gaze
she knows
waits beyond
the rains' razor edge
shares a vision
sought once alon
