The Tiny Notebook “with a Personal Power inside”

Gone are the  the days when I was struggling  to make ends meet due to low financial income. As a single mother, I did not have enough funds to provide my kids’ basic needs.  

In 2005, I had to leave my hometown to seek for a better opportunity in Manila.

One day, I sought  my younger brother’s financial assistance after being informed about this training.  It took one month but it was like spending  four years in order to  pass.  Just imagine how the class reacted when our teacher announced that all of us should take the remedial exam. Luckily, some of us made it.

Before the topic discussion, we watched the movie, “Rudy”.

I highly recommend  this movie to people from all walks of life.

My Little Angel

I started writing this poem when I was pregnant with my first child. This was published on campus publication, “The Technician”, in Palompon Institute of Techonology.   This poem is for both of you, Bryle Keanu and Edward Arnielius. I love you!

I have  a little angel;

So sweet and so tender;

To love him is no wonder;

For he feels what I feel.

You couldn’t hear his voice;

You couldn’t see his face;

You couldn’t feel his grace;

But I could say, “he brings peace!”.

Yes, he’s an angel to me;

The only guidance that I see;

He’s just not around me;

But he is  also inside me.

You don’t know how excited I am;

To let him see the sun;

To let him be a complete  human;

And to let him  be the greatest one!

My firstborn, Bryle Keanu. (Left:1997/ Right: 2016)

With him, there is much 

happiness;

With him, I overcome sadness;

For him, I will do my best;

So please my angel, be at my side always.

I admit I’ve made mistakes;

Bygones are lessons that I take;

Which today, my only love, my only faith;

Always and forever, keeping my angel safe.

My second child, Edward Arnielius. (Left: 2001/ Right: 2016)

This I proclaim day and night;

He’ll be my only child of light;

He’ll be the only song I like;

Bringing joy to my life.

My fervent thanks to the Lord forever;

For having done this piece with his mighty power;

For sending me a little angel;

For protecting us, my Lord, my shelter.
