At five o’clock
Starts my alarm clock
Tried to sleep back
Anyway, it’s still dark

At five fifteen
It’s the alarm again
Attempt to sleep quietly
Must be up or be tardy

Say my prayers shortly
At five thirty, things got to be ready
Compelled to be a good cook
By hook or by crook

Now the clock spins six
Sponge down the dishes
Get rid of all the mess
Ensure no clutter was missed

At six thirty
Packed lunch for kids and daddy
While nibbling bread
And sipping cup of coffee

Now it’s quarter to seven
Got to dip the kiddies
Though their eyes still half open
They must got to be school ready

At seven thirty
Off to work I must hurry
A sign of a breather
As I say another prayer

At exactly eight
Fulfill my duties for the state
Between eight to five
Being a good servant I strive

Directions from bosses,
Clients giving buzzes,
Follow up here,
Follow up there.


Some days are light and gaily
Without so much to worry
Some days are filled with fuzz
Yet no haze is so immense that lasts

At the end of the day
Earning the day’s pay
And making a difference
Is an enormous recompense

At six, heading home already
Another round of household duty
Homeworks and pillow fights
Kiddies playing to their might

At seven past
Tell tales of present and the past
Heeding to their laughter is the best
More than enough to ease my tiredness

Before I lay down my head to rest
I find innermost bliss and peace
Taking account of the time of my day
To the one and only Almighty

Time of My Day

Sun’s refulgent rays I barely can’t see
In spite of the brightness that lights this world.
Love’s potion withheld this heart to be free,
Height of the Mountain caused these knees to fold.


Overflowing longing made me weary
Upon thinking of your amorous face.
Eyes gushed the tears whose rhythm is dreary
Thinking if arms of mine still could embrace.


Taking my feet aback’s impossible.
Ever will I wander, lost and despair.
Amidst the vast sea that is in trouble;
Not even a hand of yours dare to care.


Now that you are just a mere silhouette,
‘Ere will I, with my restless heart regret.

Silhouette

I’ve got a feeling it’s you I wanted the first time I keep an eye on you
I don’t know deep inside you feel the same way too
I’ve long been waiting to show my feelings for you
But I am afraid our friendship will outgo

Yet God works in ways we cannot see
For He surely finds a way
For when He leads you to me
I know you are my destiny

It’s you I’ve been thinking every night and day
You’re always in my mind even I am far away
How I wished we could be together someday
And realized our dream of building a family

I know I love you even from the start
And I prayed we would never part
I will love you for the rest of my life
Endless love is all I can promise, my love

Endless Love

One night I had a dream
I dreamt I was having an encounter with the Lord
The scene is very dim
And so I was groping for something I can hold

At last, there came out a ray of light
I’m glad every corner is already bright
Then a ladder appeared in sight
Yet I have no idea what’s the purpose for that

Suddenly, I heard a soft voice
“My child, all you have to do is climb”
And so I just follow even I’m confused
Whatever the purpose I just don’t mind

When I’m halfway, the ladder tremble
I begin to worry I might fall
I started to seek safety on my own
And forget the God I’ve known

“My child, hold on, just hold on,
Everything will be fine soon”
And so I feel a sign of relief
I don’t have to worry ‘bout myself

Life in reality is just like that
When storm appeared, everything seemed to turn out bad
Day and night we can’t evade to cry
If we’re to choose between life and death, we’d rather die

Afterall, I realized God is just always there
And He worked out things for those He hold dear
All we have to do is believe and trust Him
No matter how strong the storm may seem

No Matter What

In times of uncertainties, never have I asked nor complained
Vulnerable I may be, yet, never I allowed to be disheartened,
Amidst great mountains and endless horizons,
Never have I questioned for such tribulations.


Years I wearily tread the winding road
Yet I kept a cheerful heart and soul
Overcoming every test of faith
Relishing every taste of fate


Rest evaded me until this heart finds its haven
Overwhelmed with such pure love sent from heaven,
Salve has been poured upon and healed the wounds
Aurora has lit these eyes after every gloomy seasons.


Rivulet has soothed this parched heart.
Imagine how great to be drowned in God’s love
Overflowing grace and joy has dawned
And was granted to this heart of mine

This Heart of Mine

Light had I none
Nor life was with me.
Emptiness was all I had
And uncertainty was my guide.

A gift I never asked
Nor expected grace to have.
His great love brought me light
And life to me He gave.

Never had I known His name
Nor had I known His ways
But the Advocate to me He sent
And granted me faith to believe.

Reason have I now to hope
For life eternal He holds.
Peace I know He will grant
For this soul which He loves.

Charis

When my days become so serious,
Hear my heart becoming tedious
Even the beatings are furious
Never will this be harmonious.

Let heaven take its guiding light
O’er this weary and lonesome flight
Veil of scarlet cover my sight,
Extreme love oh where is thy might.

As I make my leave, never cry,
Never will this hand dry your eye,
Do not worry and do not sigh,
Heart now bids its final goodbye.

Affliction has caused me dire pain,
Tension why hast thou keep thy stain?
Emptiness has made me insane,
Cheerfulness was turned into rain.

Dimitir

Many are the seeds in this world
But there’s this seed that’s hard to grow.
Some tried to plant yet many failed
Though they’re wise and thought they all know.

Early should man start if he wants.
Growing this seed starts early morn.
Midday scorches the seed man plants.
Midnight’s late for strength’s lost and worn.

Water this daily with Patience.
Prune it with belief it’s li’l twigs
And be amazed of its radiance
With its fruits better than figs.

Only li’l children know this seed
Trust like them with faith when in need.

This Faith of A Child

About Me

Bio

Enjoying parenting to two wonderful kiddos in my early 40’s, I am a Certified Public Accountant by profession and a writer and teacher by passion. Recently, I am completing my post graduate studies - this pursuit has energized me to explore more and think out of the box.

CV/History

At age 16, I started writing poems about anything under the sun. Until now, my zeal to write endures, this time, more passionate and more determined to turn my passion into profits especially for my dreamt charities.

I’m more than delighted to discover Songbay, because I found a channel to which I can share my write-ups. It sounds to me just like a river that finds its way to the sea or like a molten magma that finds its way out of the crater.

This is exciting!
