No Patience For Romance

No thank you, I will find another beau
If it means crawling to you
Forgetting my pride all along
Or humming an out-of-tune song

No thank you no, patience waiting
For a romance that keeps on ringing
For a high price to pay
That goes dim along the way

No thank you, find a girl of your own
I would rather be alone
If you keep me waiting
And in the dark, without seeing

A Reason To Smile

Little child so full of wonder in your eyes
Innocent to all tall tales of lies
Can you come to my side for a while
And give your grandma a reason to smile

Your laughter ringing in my ears
Drive away the reason for my tears
For grandpa has gone ahead to Heaven
Leaving me lonely and grief stricken

Come little child, make me happy
You are as sweet as an angel could be...

Tracing My Path To Thee

Now I realize as I sit quietly in a room
That all I went through in my life was a cue
Of what path to take leading me silently to Thee
Taking along my beloved family

All the people I meet in my life
Are all but just deliveres of your message
Either through their name or life story
Lord let me not turn blind eyes and deaf ears to the needy

For what I have learned through my service to your church
Is to refuse thee no sacrifice each day
For if we refuse to heed the good call of our senses
We may loose them all from your wrath

Lord, let me know what should I accept or rebuke
That whatever I do is within your path...

For You I Pray

For your pains be eased, I pray to the Lord
Treatments you receive may your body absorb
And heal every broken cell inside
May they stop multiplying and be washed by the tide

May the Lord strengthen your will and Faith
Everything happens with His grace so great
Don't be defeated you are not alone
A host of angels are praying in your Father's Home

May your Faith in the Lord heal your spirit
And your body be built again and be fit
To make up for lost time with the family
Who are grieving for all the pains they see

The Lord will take care of you don't you worry
Hang on and go with Him to a complete recovery
This simple prayer I offer for all with cancers
For everybody ill and painfully suffers

Looking For The One I Love

As I lay in my bed I could not sleep
I remembered my loved one with a sigh so deep
So I stood up and went to the garden
Hoping to ease the pains of this solitary maiden

I have been wandering of my loved one's whereabouts
I turned to the moon up above to ease my doubts
But the shy cowardly thing hid behind the cloud
Oh will you come out and give your answer aloud?

I walked in the garden to ask the flowers
A butterfly might have whispered to them as he hovers
But they turned still and silent as can be
I think I have to be contented to being with just me

Yes, My Tears Belong To You

During Your final years my darling
I couldn't help to be unceasingly crying
I would not care if all our money runs out
As long as it prolongs your life
And it was extended to two years

Years of lying side by side
Silence between us convey the love
For each other that your illness can't defeat
Now with the sound of the music in your radio
I pretend that it is all coming from you

You refused to be less than a man
Refusing doctor's orders
That you will be reduced to be an invalid
Refusing your tongue to be cut
Nor put a whole in your stomach

At the end you turned out to be the victor
Dying in God's grace quietly with His blessing
And a decent burial attended by so many friends
A man of few words loved by everybody
Now I believe you are in Heaven trying to protect me
