You Don't Ask For Love

You don't ask for love, you give it
Show love for others and it will return
Give smile and it will bounce back
For love is contagious and spreads readily

Show love for others and everything follows
All the good deeds you do will be like a deposit
Withdrawable anytime if you need it
So give love in whatever way you can

Give love to others, rich or poor
For such is the best thing to do
In time of troubles you may need help
Others you've shown love to will come to the fore

I Buried My Heart Under The Sand

Love unanswered, love refused
Hurt my feelings and was abused
To protect it for further damage
I buried it in the sand to avoid ravage

I was loveless for so long
My life was just like a sad song
Nobody to turn to when in distress
I was like a long lost mistress

But then love calls again
My heart refuses in vain
Shall I dig it out of the hole?
But for so long I have forgotten it my soul

Where would I start to search?
Just like a bird love did perch
But my heart has to reply
Have forgotten where, that, I can't deny

So what would I do to love without a heart?
Maybe hold his hand for a start
Then maybe I will remember then
Where this damn heart is that refuses to be broken

Love Is Just A Smile Away

Love is just a smile away
A happy face melts trouble away
Friends will multiply with just a simple smile
A frowning face scares the others away

Oh I don't know what I would do
If I don't have friends around
People to share laughter with
And a kind shoulder to wipe your tears away

Friends are treasures in themselves
Keep the old and build new ones
You'll have friends more than you can hold
To brighten your day anytime

My Art's Death

It has been four months since your death
And for that long I have not paid you a tribute yet
I miss you so though I try to keep busy
I still miss you specially your empty bed I see

I know I was not a perfect wife
I had all faults that cause us the strife
For all these I am sorry my dear
I feel sad when your strained voice I silently hear

I know you loved me very much
And I am sorry for my misbehaior as such
But I do love you, I solemnly swear
I mourn for you with the black dresses I wear

Tears flow down my cheek as I write this verse
It is only you I want and nobody else
There might be small attractions for others
Please don't mind this for you surpass all would be lovers

Missing your company inside the room
You had been very quiet because since pains loom
But just you beside me made me happy
Now I am sure you are always around me

For I still feel guided by your presence
Leaving behind something to pay for our daily expense
Even after death you are taking care of us both
Me and our son with all provisions you still cook the broth

All I can do now is to be prudent and make it grow
For your future generations and the third Arturo
I pray we meet again in the afterlife
In whatever form, guided by the light

Through A Soft Sigh

Through a soft sigh as I passed by I knew you cared
And the passion I felt was the same
But then we were not free to express the feelings
One day you left leaving a darkness within


A girl I know reminds me of you
Helping her go through life may lessen my guilt
Unable to come near before as a grown up man
Now a harmless little child comes through

She has the soulful look of a searching eyes
Born poor, all I can do is send her to school
Until she has a career and find her own life
And find someone whom she can call her own


WAS A PREVIOUS ADMIRER REINCARNATED OR IS IT JUST A PRODUCT OF MADNESS?

How To Survive In A Frenzy Economy

Friends let us be and share our thoughts
To survive in a meagerness of your world
You have to be like a tightwad
Easy on the peso my new hero

You have to be aware of the economic zone
Around your station, even your own home
Some envious persons of some beloved
Around the bend they whisper destruction

Your feet may carry you around
Every second has to be cherished as learning
Some competing midgets may dictate economy
Destroying the manufacturer's claim of production

But remember your parents are around
As meal tickets or transportation gas
Of some mothers broken of hearts
Seeking comfort for her children

Working For God

I am not a religious, but i try to work for the spread of the word of God by coordinating Bible Studies and through writing in the internet. Our original Bible Study Group of 20 years has just been dissolved because most of them are busy now, some in traveling.

So what I am trying to do now is organize a Bible Study For the youth of our subdivision, with the blessing of Father Bernardo Blanco of the Claretian Order.

Some of those taking care of the spiritual guidance of the community are already in their twilight years and some younger people has to be initiated into the service. I get so tired because I work from 7:00 AM to late in the evening. I think I am being given the inspiration and the drive by Jesus, that I feel fulfilled no how matter how tired I become. DO EVERYTHING IN THE NAME OF GOD AND YOU WILL BE BLESSED.
