MOTHER
MOTHER
By: VIRGINIA CLOSE
I haven’t met you; but, I can feel you.
In every breath that you are taking;
I take the air with the scent of fresh flowers.
You feed me; because I am always hungry.
Even though, you are sleeping; you dream of me.
You carry me for many months with no complaining.
The life you give me is from love everlasting.
After many months of sleepless nights,
You are tired and utterly weary.
But in your heart, you are excited to see me.
Today, I meet you; In my mind, you are angry.
You are crying as you hold me; but, you are
kissing me as if you don’t want to release me.
Your whispers make me cool; you are saying,
I love you, baby; you are so beautiful.
With all of me, I will never cease to love you;
For you are the gift from High Above
A mother’s love is very pure!
Untarnished through the test of time.
As I was born, my mama was born too.
Not as a baby but as my mummy;
With unselfish needs to carry through.
If children are the gift from God;
A mother is the gift of God to humankind.
‘HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, EVERYONE!’
Tatay (My Father)
TATAY
BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE
The Angels and the seraphs are passing by
With my Tatay carrying roses to greet me hi!
To see his handsome face makes me cry.
Tears of joy and jovial moments to see him smile.
His presence makes my heart jumps so high;
The memories of him is all that I have now.
The bond that we shared cannot be erased by anyone;
I carry him in my heart every day through all this time.
He was called to heaven a long time ago;
For his mission on earth is polished and done –
To nurture me and my siblings in this world of ours –
Tatay, you are the best –
Your soul is untarnished and pure.
My dearest Tatay, I love you so!
You have given me the greatest in life and you did so!
Happy Father’s Day to you and your mates up there!
Have an awesome day with the Almighty in heaven…
I Thank you and salute you for all your great deeds here on earth!
MY FATHER’S LOVE
MY FATHER’S LOVE
Gone are the days when you use to teach me how to count
The endless laughter we shared as we walked hand and hand
I cried so hard when you went to work each day
For I long to be with you all day long to play
My serene moments I sat to reminisce our good old days
The wonderland stories, the myths and the tales you narrated
As l listened with my heart’s delight under the moonlight
Looking at the starlight that flickers so far away
I am very sure without a doubt
That the starlight in heaven is you my dearest dad
Saying I love you my sweet Olai of mine
BELIEVE
BELIEVE
BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE
Blooming flowers from the vine;
scent of roses entered my mind.
The reverie of you lifted me high;
ocean of water waves in my hand.
Two people in love I am so glad;
winds carry our spirits up above.
Clouds on our feet as we walk;
smiles happily laughter as I talk.
Touch of you makes me alive;
stroking my hair without tire;
you handle my heart, so gentle and
soft that glitters my eyes l.
Thus, enlighten my soul.
Dash of a fairy dust not a tale;
vision of you comes with a zest.
Believe in yourself is a gel.
Fortune protrudes at its best!
The Flight Attendant
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT
By: Virginia Close
As she announces when we take off;
Seat belt on please to everyone. We
all obey her strict command;
For if we’re not, we cannot come.
I am like a child as I sit still; Her
very words I cannot break.
This is what I have in mind;
To follow her in every way.
If I don’t listen and, obey;
She will throw me, I will miss
the flight. To go home or see a new
place is out of sight;
To take the ship is not very swift.
The flight attendant lady is my
boss today; incredible skills she has
the grand. She treats me like;
a princess or a queen. This kind
lady gives me assurance that I am fine.
She might be tough but very brave;
to fly with me and many others on the
jet; Towering in the sky. The dedication
of her quest; My respect for her is very
high. A flight attendant even says;
just relax and drink your wine, ma’am and
sirs.’ Blankets for the kids to keep them
warm; Hope you do enjoy the flying time.
MEMORIES
BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE
Thinking of the hours, you used to smile;
lovely thoughts will remain untouched.
Gone is the minute you kiss my soul;
memories remain just in my book.
What happens next is storm that do not stop;
thunder broke the mirror shattered the plot.
Rainbow, please? Come to make me bright.
The hope had turned off; the light of day appears
in the blink of my eye.
Now, my heart trusts the heaven up high.
I know, it is hard for me to reach the sky when
my life runs out of flight; but, I must try.
The love of you will keep me going;
the memories of you I will cherish and keep
in my heart;
forever and beyond in eternal height.
Gladness of Heaven
Gladness of Heaven
BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE
The water lily pond sparkles in the sun.
The flowing water caresses the vines.
Mischievous being comes along with a dire;
Persistent of nature to survive in a bland.
The waves in the sea touch my very own hand.
Flirtatious trees swinging with the wind from afar;
Graciously dancing the fountain behind.
Mystical beauty disappears with the light;
The affliction of intense stormy weather decides.
Mitigation of the intangible is now going to cry;
The gladness of heaven interferes with a smile.
Diamonds that sparkles is going to shine;
Faith in the future is now in my hand.
