Let's bring it back; let's go back To that sweet, old thing we now lack Make it great again, go back again Let's start right away; let's begin Back to organic maple syrup over Mama's hot, buttermilk flapjacks And Daddy's Saturday morning tutorials on how to change the oil and how to use a scissor jack A return to strangers saying...

Standing here by the shore Far beyond my long gaze I see the earth and sky closer My memory turns into quiet sea That reflects through generations Every thoughts I have is all For everyone I dearly love whom Like dew on grass - pure, sincere And filled with light but now long gone Time slows down to let me whisper To my ancestors in...

A pocket-sized companion, light and small, The transistor radio, answering freedom's call. A plastic casing, sometimes bright and bold, A world of sound, a story to unfold. A little dial, you'd turn with gentle grace, Searching for signals in the airy space. A crackling whisper then a station clear, Bringing the music banishing all fear. A single...

A lonely sentinel on a busy street, The telephone booth, a bittersweet retreat. Its glass panes smudged with countless hurried hands, A silent witness to forgotten lands. Within its cramped and often dusty space, A world unfolded, etched upon a face. A whispered promise, a tearful goodbye said, A lifeline cast, from fears that filled the...

Remember thumbing through the index small and neat, Searching for the words, a melody to meet. The latest chart-toppers scribbled down with care, So you could...

A bulky box, a cathode ray's soft glow, The analog TV in a gentle fading show. Its rabbit ears, a hopeful, awkward plea, To catch a signal wild and wandering free. The snowy static, a familiar haze, Before an image flickered through the maze. Adjusting knobs with patient turning hand, To find a picture clear across...

I see the sea is good But the ocean is even better Both beauty is superb It makes me fell complete In the morning, at dawn In the afternoon, in the night In the evening, in the twilight In its magical reflection, serene In the sounds of the waves, peace I can talk to Him anytime....

The canvas tents, a sturdy line, Beneath Bataan's familiar shine. PNOC's grounds, a verdant spread, Where youthful adventures were led. The scent of earth and coastal air, A memory beyond compare. The crackling fire, a cheerful blaze, Through those uncomplicated early days. Learning knots by lantern light, As fireflies danced in the fading night. Exploring trails with eager feet, Where jungle whispers soft and sweet. The bugle's...

The crinkle of thin, newsprint pages turning, A scent of ink and vibrant colors burning, A rush of excitement, a familiar, happy sigh, As stories waited, just beyond the eye. Into young minds, a weekly, treasured quest, The latest issue putting hearts at rest. That glossy cover, a promise bold and bright, A hero posed prepared to win...
