It seems like it was only yesterday
when you were here every morning...
Hush little baby, silent your cries
Why do I see sadness in your green eyes...
Although many things
have changed throughout the years...
Dear dad,
just writing to tell you somethings...
The sound of your voice
Is what I live for each day...
I remember the moment I found out
I was shocked and so surprised...
The bond between child and mother
stronger than most any other...
Today, we gathered over the first
scrambled eggs you have...
“Nanay, can you see me?”
You gave me a gentle nod...
You became my own child
though birthed from another man...
I cook with a plain wooden spoon
that has faint colors...
She came to me
With out stretched hands...
