I Stand Tall Like a Bamboo Tree

I stand tall like a bamboo tree,
Strong winds make my body to sway,
Storm makes me blown away,
But I still stand like a bamboo tree.

Trials, problems that I faced everyday,
I have the strength to pursue it anyway,
The dreams that I have in mind,
Though it’s simple but it's one of a kind.

Insults, negative people may put me down,
On my head, I still have my precious  crown,
God gave me the courage to be strong,
Like a bamboo tree it sways bravely.

I stand tall and firm with my decision, 
To be successful because of my determination,
No one can destroy my aim in life, I tell you my friend,
Like a bamboo tree I survived, I can till the end.

Thinking of You

Thinking of your smile makes my day,
So inspired to write a poem of what I feel,
Can’t take you out of my mind my dear.
 
In my heart you are my love so dear,
You always make a brighter day,
I hope you really know how I feel.

When I wake up every single day,
I look at your cool picture my dear,
My contented soul shows for what I feel.

You complete my day, I feel so happy dear.

A Day At the Magical Forest

One day of exploration in the forest,
Enjoying the view while taking a rest,
A whirling sound I hear from a distance,
Followed by sparkling lights. Oh what a glance!

World around me turn into a magical kingdom,
Colorful leaves, flying fairies and they look awesome,
I am lying on the bed of roses with a sweet fragrance,
Is it a dream or a nightmare that I witness in existence?

The soothing sound of waterfalls behind the tree,
Lovely fairies were bathing and smiling at me,
Unicorn with pure tame beauty standing proudly,
Ready to gallop waiting for me to ride in eternity.

If it’s a dream I don’t want to wake up anymore,
Winged tiny fireflies humming beautifully I swore,
Tall trees sway softly to celebrate a magical day,
I couldn’t stand still lying on the bed of roses sleepily.

I close my eyes to cherish this moment of happiness
Unforgettable and enjoyable day at the magical forest,
I utter a prayer of gladness and smile contentedly,
This is a great experience for me and the best day,

Wish Upon the Stars

There was once a young girl,
Who wish upon the stars,
Looking so bright in the sky,
She dream and soar up high.

Opportunities knock in front of her,
She think, she decide, with a prayer,
Go on, walk alone and prove to everyone,
That no matter what, she will do her plan.

Roads are not as smooth as she goes,
But strong enough to dream and pursue,
Thinking of the wish she promise to herself,
And she asks God to give her more strength.

To be strong to face challenges in life,
And dedicate her wish to God above,
Now success is within her reach,
With her determination not to be rich,
But to help for those who are need.

A girl who once wish upon the stars,
Is now a woman of example and virtues ,
For she is the already the molders of the youth,
Wish granted and she is now contented,
For God is really good if you believe and have faith

Forgiveness 2

Forgiving others will give you peace,
All the pains will be a great release,
It will get rid of your emotional baggage,
It’s like wound that no need for a bandage.

I know it’s really hard to forgive and to forget,
And love turned into a broken relationship,
But who are we not to forgive others anyway?
If it means to cleanse our souls and be happy. 

Forgive yourself and forgive others, 
Let your soul woks and feel His presence, 
Just kneel down and ask God’s guidance,
He will reward you with peace in your heart.

Our National Hero

A tribute to 159th Birth Anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal



Soul of a hero ignites,
With the use of mighty pen he fight,
From the colony of other countries,
Hail your greatness, it stays in our memories.

Dr. Jose Rizal, your life was an inspiration,
Born to defend our beloved nation,
You are really an intelligent person,
Writing poetry was your greatest passion.

The spirit of nationalistic was in your mind,
Helping Filipinos shows that you are kind,
Your heart dictates to do the right thing,
To fight for freedom, history remember your writings.

Runs in your veins Malayan royalty,
Bloodless revolts spread easily,
By your pen that is considered mighty,
Shout for joy, Philippine Independence for our country.

This poem dedicated to 159th Birth anniversary of our Philippine National Hero
Dr. Jose Rizal

Overseas Filipino Workers

Sacrificing loneliness in other country
                                                        For family’s welfare
                                             Considered as heroes by Filipinos

Age Doesn'T Matter

Age doesn’t matter,
If your love is forever,
You don’t have to worry,
What other people will say.

Age doesn’t matter,
If someone shows you care,
What matter is your own happiness,
Love and understanding is the best.

The warmth of being together,
To you is age really that matter?
More important is that you respect each other,
Till the end, day by day your love will stay stronger.

Green Revolution

Green is my favorite color,
The color of a beautiful nature,
Looking at the lovely green fields ,
My soul really wants your shields .

Trees all around me,
Everywhere I see,
Celebrating a great day,
For us to be happy.

The coolness I feel,
My eye shed a tear,
Hearing the sound of crickets, 
Hiding under the rice fields.

Green grasses proudly showing,
Green frogs merrily croaking,
To the world of wonderful creation,
Thanks God for this green revolution. 


Mother earth is smiling, 
Because of our nice living,
People plant trees and help to clean,
It's now all looks refreshing...so green…

Mickey Mouse

Cute little Mickey,
                                                   Shown on national T.V.
                                                      Adorned by many,
                                                      Loved by Minnie.
                
                                                     You act gracefully,
                                                   You make me happy,
                                                Before I sleep every day,
                                           I make sure you and I will play.

                                             You are my favorite mouse,
                                  Different designs you can see in our house,
                                            Can’t take my eyes off you,
                                    I always hug you when I’m feeling blue.
