Wakes before the fourth hour
Straight into the shower
Gets dressed in a wink
Downstairs in a blink
Quick cup of coffee
A glance at the news
Washes all the dishes
Plans the day's menus
Prepares all the food
Fresh, tasty, so good
Works from home for an hour
Revs up the brainpower
Drives to the train
Sun, snow, or rain
At work by 8:30 a.m.
Back to the grind again
She does it all every day
With a smile on her face
My wonderful wife Rina

Maranao Poem Translation:
- My Pseudo for them -
A child of the sun, coldness she knew
not.
But the heat of the moment,
dependent
always uneasy but of passion,
resplendent.
The sun in setting, a lady she was
not.
A flower to compare but a rose inapt.
More an orchid, a beauty of the
tropics.
Or a frangipani, a temptation in her
frolics.
Chimera of the sun, at night a
woman entrap.
Loving, generous but of men she had
flaws.
Our rock in troubles, our source of
muscles.
Joy and laughter in her weird world
of tussles.
But hurt her friends, a tigress with
claws.
Rest in peace beautiful Rina, our
handsome Moses.
A beloved child of the sun, who loved
roses.
Rina Tina Rose Belly
Gossip with Moon Shelly
Looks forward Tulu
Nothing found blue
Little stars make a bright rally.
Grand mother tells a funny tale
Tina’s sleeping, have a great fail
Mom’s giving cake
All happy and take
Rina’s speaking `give G. mother bail.’
