Kaysarap pakinggan
ng mga huni ng ibon
How sweet to hear
the sound of birds singing
Sa umagang kayganda
na punung puno ng pag-asa
In this beautiful morning
brimming with hope
Ang nakaraan ay bumabalik
sa bawat alaala na iyong iniwan
Memories of times past come back
for every reminder you left
Ang saya na naramdaman ko
ay napalitan ng pagkaulila sa yo
The happiness I felt
replaced by missing you
Sa paglipas ng panahon
di ka pa rin mawaglit sa aking isipan
In each moment time passed by
you still occupy mind
Tanging sa larawang kupas na lang
ika’y aking masisilayan
Only in this faded photo
I can still see you
Dedicated to my father on his birthday. I hope you enjoyed reading the poem.
Please bear with me as I have neglected answering your wonderful comments and if I haven’t drop by your blog. You know how life gets busy. In the next few days, I’ll be more busy but I’ll try to catch up with all of you.
