Home is my Eden where You, my God, nourish me with Your bounty
Embracing me around warm belongingness of family love delight
Assured with security presence, barring disloyalty attacks
Fenced by Your providential guarding leadership!
Home is my primary faith-builder, bringing me close to You, my Creator…
As Dad and Mom exposed me to Your great omnipotence
Midst truths of miracles and realities of mysteries
Especially of personal relationship with Christ.
Home is my serene haven that has taught me genuine contentment
With my parents thanking You, Oh, Lord for Your daily blessings
Combatting dissatisfaction of materialism-angst
Subduing greed, covetousness and envy.
Home is my joyous commendation-source from Your wrought triumph, my God
Exemplified by my family’s gladness, praising You over every milestone
Be it birthday, graduation, anniversary, or any worthy festival…
Prevailing is “Congrats for doing your best by God’s grace…”
Home keeps me linger more for mind and body’s much-needed rejuvenation
When outside tasks’ incessant demands echo loudly with painful pressure
Succumbing to relaxation’s pleasure, I stay in Your comfort, Holy Spirit
Refreshed by loved ones’ touch and embrace, verily therapeutic.
Home is my fortress-might against injustice and violence of whatever nature
Vanguard of biblical virtues-values, constantly championing righteousness
Where You, my dear Saviour reign as Master with compassion and truth…
In You is heaven on earth; with You soon is eternal paradise.*
*Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

“Daddy, will you pray with me?” I asked him.
He sat on my bed, took hold of my hand
and prayed for me.
My pastor father....
his words rising like incense
up to the throne of grace.
I heard him plead for healing
on my behalf
and then for himself
for divine strength to carry
all of the burdens that he had.
In those sacred moments,
I could hardly breathe
as I squeezed his work worn hands…
When he whispered, “Amen”,
he brought my hand to his lips
and kissed it.
I almost cried
because I realize
that Daddy is getting old
and I cannot bear the thought
Oh, how it tugs at my heart...
the thought of losing him
“I worry about you,” he said
“You’re my only daughter!”
and after our goodnights
I’m here pouring my heart out tonight
trying to get past the lump in my throat
Because I know...
I know...
these times are precious
God chose to be known as Father
Abba….Daddy
I never had a problem
understanding the love of God
because of that term…FATHER
My earthly father
is everything a daughter could want and more
The first man I ever loved
He is honest and hardworking….
He exemplified the meaning of sacrifice
as for years he cared for my mother
wheelchair bound
unable to care for her most basic needs
due to MS
He'd feed, change, and care for her
Serving the church devotedly
Giving all he has…..
An academician...
who sometimes would pay from his pocket
when a student had no money for books
A man who would stop
to give a ride to anyone on the street
A man whose office
and home
Were always open for the weary
A man who stood for truth....
“though the heavens fall”
My father…..
My hero….
The representative
Of my heavenly FATHER!
“How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure.”
Father God!
Abba…Father!
My Daddy, Johnny!
Matthew 7: 9 – 11 9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Sonsor: Judy Konos
Faith of a child is great in God’s sight
Since it reveals sincere trust in its purest height
Showcasing genuine reliance to the Sovereign’s might
Devoid of doubt and unbelief along uncertainty-blight.
Child-like faith was exemplified by virtuous Bible characters
Who in their young age could be considered as heroic masters
In subduing evil and vanquishing the bad that perilously deters
While fully depending on the omnipotent Lord for triumphant encounters.
There was David… fighting as a child, full of courage and valor
Crashing the Philistines’ dominance by ending Goliath’s ruthless vigor.
Samuel was just a boy when he responded to the Creator’s call with honor
To serve sincerely as a prophet, proclaiming truth midst good tidings’ clamor.
The Chronicles spoke of King Josiah who at eight years old was Judah’s head
Instructed by God’s wisdom, with faith in his advisors… he led;
Then we can never forget the lad who willingly shared his fish and bread
Which Jesus Christ multiplied to feed the multitudes in their hunger-dread.
Indeed, child-like faith* wins God’s heart
He even said that having such can open heaven, away from hell’s dart.
Now, my dear Son, let your faith in the Lord increase toward service-rampart;
Always seek His favour before victorious quests you start.
*2Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Final earthly breath … incredibly wondrous
Miraculously mysterious in its release
Echoing ephemeral life’s termination
Reverberating return of the soul to the Creator
Affirming Scripture’s truth:
“To be absent from the body
Is to be present with the Lord.”*
Precious final breath … remarkably distinct
Divinely poignant with its mortal essence
Inhaling supreme goodness’ grace for the last time
Taking in blessing’s bliss toward eternity
Seizing urgent seconds to express gratefulness:
“Thank You, dear God, for great opportunities
To enjoy Your granted privileges and fulfill Your assigned roles.”
Final breath’s heave … indeed a glorious relief
Exemplified by my Dad radiating peaceful countenance
Heeding to the supreme Father’s call toward heavenly abode
Departing from his temporal residence as a pilgrim
Bidding adieu to us, his loved ones, for a while
As forever awaits in the Saviour’s magnificent celestial home
Where believers’ jubilant reunion lasts timelessly.
Oh, glorious, precious, wondrous last breath…
Am I prepared to face you? Now, I ought to be ready:
Optimizing my all to the utmost while alive and well
Exalting my sovereign Master with His entrusted performing faith
Ministering to others by His strength’s empowerment
Fully aware that “The Spirit of God hath made me
And the breath of the Almighty hath given me my life.”**
*2 Corinthians 5:8
**Job 33:4

Life is a treasure created with a purpose and value
Every hour, minute and seconds on a schedule
Precious is the sound
Never take life for granted
You only have one life and one body
Togetherness being the ultimate importance
Tomorrow and the moment not promised
Take heed of what life is about
More than self, but extending to others
It starts with family and friends
Giving through compassion
Stop watch of life observing
Time is ticking
Enjoy life as you fulfill
Once the stop watch ceases, it’s over
Life fullest detail
Time is value
Treasure those precious moments
Exemplified precious times
Exchange weak links and turns into strong bonds
Life is a passing through phase
Today could be suddenly no more
Precious, precious and precious in the flow
Don’t take life unlikely
Favoritism is not a want nor need
Love is the bond
Think and emphasize togetherness as your life blossoms along
Spread it around.
Persuaded that God is eternal blessings’* Source
I feast in His provision-granting course…
Such offers grace for savouring delight
while empowering heart to share with loving might.
Midst crisis that causes heart to feel down
my faith sees the Creator’s supply pouring down…
Such is functional giving exemplified at its best
conquering dearth to provide for all and the rest.
Miraculous resources geared toward sharing gladness
indeed, can smite selfishness and greediness…
Such heightens gratitude of kindness-essence
as it subdues apathetic self-sufficiency’s prevalence.
*Genesis 49:25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.

I pray for my last thoughts to prevail with triumphant bliss, vanquishing regret angst; and verily abounding with thanksgiving for the following:
GOD-ALPHA AND OMEGA of my life: Without* YOU, I’m nothing
since You’re my all-sufficiency and my everything.
Dad: you’re my greatest human fortress, steadfast indeed
the Almighty I praise for your legacy, thriving with blest breed.
Mom: truly 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
Christ’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-propelled 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 empowerment, 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 trumpet's sound.
All the Poets in their desire to express their hearts out with passionate zeal
inspiration you are to me by the impact of your dedication-seal.
With such last thoughts reigning along worshipful spirit, surmounting gloom of worthlessness' attacks, I yield to the Sovereign Whom I trust
while ministering by His guidance.
*John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Ode in couplet form
Samson reborn within
brand name garden variety
twentieth century *****sapien
hirsute trademark characteristic
electrified, empowered, enamored
mirrored reflection validated
substantial flowing luscious tresses
superseded body, mind, and spirit triage
prioritized as most significant
constituent essence passively
potently, pronouncedly exemplified
declaration of independence
against parental United Kingdom
first impression evoked
heavy metal musician,
this then skinny prepubescent lad
who doth sing a poor tune
easily mistaken androgynous
long haired pencil necked geek
weathered cruel barbs
harriedly styled swiftly tailored
disproportionately relegated hirsute
feature length non "FAKE"
real McCoy adorning
all important Hatfield resident
effectively far fetched
gloating prized hair him,
despite primitive diatribes
courtesy loving "mom,"
she did vociferously inveigh
vouchsafed to schtup
ample legal tender,
all to no avail
then authoritarianism tactics resorted,
I lacked chutzpah to vent anger,
plus self confidence
to vamoose voluntarily negligible,
unnecessary insufferable expletives
out the mouth of she...,
who birthed sole son
passively resistantly intractable
demure, meek, resilient...
even decades later
vicious lashings still affect me
analogous black barbs
digging deep into psyche
diminution allotted thinning hair
absent male pattern baldness...,
I surmise to attribute
senescence the culprit.
Inspiring our hearts to face the day with hope*
the Saviour wakes us from good night's rest
upholding our strength by His fortitude
propelling us for great progress-steps...
Let's constantly trust His guidance.
Revealing Himself to us by His instilled faith in Jesus Christ
the Lord offers marvelous, wondrous, blissful fellowship
as He exposes His perfect will through His Word...
Let's yield to Him, basking in His presence
serenity-filled and joyously blest.
Granting us everlasting life as precious gift for our redemption
the Almighty God has exemplified bountiful loving kindness
persistent compassion with mercy-anchored grace
at work despite our sinfulness and vanity...
Let's thank Him along praise exultant.
Drawing us nigh toward triumphant worship with His pardon delight
the Father listens to our honest admission of transgressions
along earnest guilt confession, humbly expressed...
Let's seek Him in the glowing beauty of holiness
midst His forgiveness for our transformation.
Conquering us against selfishness, arrogance and hypocrisy
the Master deserves our total submission to His power*
He knows what's right for us, the best and utmost
transcending our future along His divine purpose...
Let's cleave to His promises, indeed immutable.
Cheering us up with His ready comfort and enabling omnipotence
the Holy Spirit revives us against despair, misery and gloom
caused by persecutions, temptations, difficulties, trials
asserting victory over tormenting challenges...
Let's cling to Him while to others reaching-out.
*Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
