Promise in the Pain

TREES by Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

An lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make me a tree.

A Girl's Garden by Robert Frost (1874-1963)

A NEIGHBOR of mine in the village

Likes to tell how one spring

When she was a girl on the farm, she did

A childlike thing.

One day she asked her father

To give her a garden plot

To plant and tend and reap herself,

And he said, "Why not?"

In casting about for a corner

He thought of an idle bit

Of walled-off ground where a shop had stood,

And he said, "Just it."

And he said, "That ought to make you

An ideal one-girl farm,

And give you a chance to put some strength

On your slim-jim arm."

It was not enough of a garden,

Her father said, to plough;

So she had to work it all by hand,

But she don't mind now.

She wheeled the dung in the wheelbarrow

Along a stretch of road;

But she always ran away and left

Her not-nice load.

And hid from anyone passing.

And then she begged the seed.

She says she thinks she planted one

Of all things but weed.

A hill each of potatoes,

Radishes, lettuce, peas,

Tomatoes, beets, beans, pumpkins, corn,

And even fruit trees

And yes, she has long mistrusted

That a cider apple tree

In bearing there to-day is hers,

Or at least may be.

Her crop was a miscellany

When all was said and done,

A little bit of everything,

A great deal of none.

Now when she sees in the village

How village things go,

Just when it seems to come in right,

She says, "I know!

It's as when I was a farmer--"

Oh, never by way of advice!

And she never sins by telling the tale

To the same person twice.

Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost (1874-1963)

 Nature's first green is gold,

her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

Bot only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay

~ Lady of the House ~

You carried me within you long time before i saw the beauty of this world,

embracing the physical change ,only you could ever understood.

Many sleepless nights you endured just to make me at ease

singing your own lullaby is the sweetest melody in my ears.

You held me in your arms until I grew up and able to be on my own,

yet your love and care is telling me, in your heart I still belong.

You've shed in tears sharing wit my successes and failures,

Combing my hair , a magic touch to lessen the burden i bear.

Many are the wonders you've done before the sun show up,

into the kitchen , you're a genie who always make me laugh.

We've bond through the dishes and household chores,

never taught it was the training towards my future role.

I saw your harder days letting me go,

to have my own way and freely do things as I would like to.

Some does your duty on their own, their flight is solo & tough,

Others have  man on their back making it less rough.

Many are the terms of endearment the folks called you upon,

Nanay, Mama, Momshie, Mom, Mother , our heroes in the house and beyond.

How could someone ever forget your sacrifices and all the things you've done,

Your strength & fortitude, an inspiration to all the Lady of the House & in the world of your love ones!

The Blossom by William Blake

 

Merry, merry sparrow!
Under leaves so green
A happy blossom
Sees you, swift as arrow,
Seek your cradle narrow,
Near my bosom.
Pretty, pretty robin!
Under leaves so green
A happy blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, pretty robin,
Near my bosom.

~ Oh I SEA ~

Lone ranger's seeking a refuge

in the wilderness his heart needs a solitude;

brokenness leads to a place of warm solace 

in silence, through the crashing of the waves

the wind blowing & the leaves dancing.

 

The lullaby of the small creatures under the waters so blue

gladden his brokenness,makes his heart seemed at ease

the fishes down under their own abode

swam merrily makes the lone ranger's back to its happy mode.

Oh how the SEA can mend a contrite spirit in shattered moment

its beyond words of comfort from a friend

just a glimpse of the wonderful creation in the kingdom of the waters deep

like a small boat that passes through waves in the ocean

is what the lone ranger's need to restore his broken soul,

just the SEA of hope, oh I SEA the wonders of nature's beauty.

 

  

 

Sunflower Message

On a bright sunny day
bare foot walked on at the open field
wondering how the waves of life will subside
Along the open field, tiny little thing is shining
facing the sun so bright smiling
   message conveyed " just keep on going"

 

 

" Every Woman's Dream "

how lovely is He that created thee in thy rib,

out from his slumber, she was woven out of that crib..

the grand master plan that nobody can,
is shaping your man to better serve thy grandest plan..

the period of waiting seemed faith - shaking,
how long, will there will be someone's waiting?..

when fears and doubts lingered,
in your heart that always bothered

oh thy soul, don't be despair
open your heart to His loving care.

Your dream of your big event
has been woven with heaven's scent

So worry no more , just fill your heart with joy
that every woman's dream you will soon enjoy.

~ Brand New Start ~

There’s a day that called yesterday

A day when dreams shattered

And a clever heart was bothered.

Yesterday’s dream is today's hope

A day that brings a brand new start

Yesterday’s ending now a new beginning.

Living life as seems today is the last day

Setting a minute of gladness to someone’s sadness

Is the joy that life may bring to someone’s brokenness.

Brand New Start that must start within

Within the inner core of someone’s being.

Life is just a mist that vanishes away

Why not start a brand new you today.

"Letting Go & Letting God Do"

 A piece of something I kept holding on to

My mind says let go but my heart can’t do.

A year ago I try to throw it all into the wind of forgetfulness

But the heart says “No”, just let it flow.

Spellbinding in the chapter I repeatedly reading daily

Are the memories I always wanted to turn back on.

But You Lord gave and took it away

I may now give unto YOU the rest of the story?.

Letting go is an art I keep trying to run through

Desires unanswered I always pass it all to You.

In the stillness of the night, there I come on bended knee

My heart sings for joy knowing You hear my plea.

"Set My Spirit Free"

The beauty of her face

And the twinkling of her eyes

Shows nothing but a radiant grace

From His love and warm embrace.

She sings with the cricket’s lullaby

Dance as the music running by

Smile when someone’s special passes by

In her heart there’s a silent cry.

“Set my spirit Free”, her inner sigh

Looking back on the years gone by

Was a heart broken and finding no reasons why?

Painful was the betrayal of trusted guy.

“Set my spirit Free” into the widest horizon

Of real love that knows no reason

Love embracing honesty without hesitation

Clinging to the hope found in God alone.

“Set my Spirit Free”, grasping the reality

Love from above gives real victory

Against spending time, cherishing past memory

Trusting in the giver of Life truly “Set my Spirit Free”.

~ Never Let Me Go~

Never Let me go, Lord.. Never let me go from your presence..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i always thought my steps will be firm
til one day, i came across at the wrong lane...

i always hope my heart will not be deceive
in the sweetness of lies and make believe...

nightmares of yesterday keeps running after me
in the long road of emptiness making me a prey...

i dreamed of the best man to come along in my journey
til somebody did and took my heart away..

moving with the flow, sailing on the sea
great storms came across unexpectedly....

Unknowingly i was in the deep slumber of deceitfulness
a slave not of righteousness...

Never let me go from Your Mighty Hand
hold me tight, Your light is my lamp...

Never let me go from Your presence I pray
You are my deliverer, my rock & my refuge...

Never let me go from the sweetness of Your embrace
I strive to obey & follow Your Precepts....

Never let me go, Lord.. Never let me go..

~ IF ~

This was written in account of trying to ease the pain to someone where in fact, I too have the same plea as she is.. Trying to keep her away from the loneliness and pain of losing.. "If ", a wish to make things the opposite way as it is going.! For you, Paulina !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I could count the stars above,
I should have told you, you're so dearly love;

If I could stop the wind from blowing,
I do not want to see you crying;

If I could just let the river never runs dry,
I would wipe out all your tears & hidden cry;

If I could have a wings to fly,
I should have told you how vast is the sky;

If I could let the sun to stop from shining,
I should have told you everything comes in perfect timing;

If I could write my own love song,
I would better choose not to get it along;

'Coz If I could let my heart to stop from beating,
I would rather said " Enough was the pain of losing ".
