Remembering A Dear and Loving Boss

Remembering A Dear and Loving Boss


There would have been a big celebration this week. Unfortunately, she passed away almost a year ago. During my time, her birthday was usually celebrated with a sumptuous lunch prepared by Eva attended by all her subordinates in Treasury and the senior officers of the bank. She should have been 61 (I hope I am right) if she had been alive

This short poem is dedicated to her.

In countenance someone would perceive
A lady so serious in thoughts and deeds
In the silence of her room, she is in motion
The whispered telephone instructions.

In times we get to talk about business
Her insights and comments must heed
Deep, profound, encompassing
Areas of concern, less we ‘re forgetting.

Seldom can someone see her smile
But deep inside a golden heart she hides
Cigarette on hand, the light footsteps behind
A picture of elegance, nobody can deny.

Every morning she greets me hello!
What transpired in the market ago
Did you win, or did you lose
Tell her so, then I am on the go.

It has been years the last we met
And when we did the question I heard
“How are you? You haven’t changed”
Simple words that touched my nerves.

I pray now where her ashes went
In Heaven where her soul deserves
A peace and love, a glow within
A Child of God, a glory win!

Madre y Niño

I wrote this poem for a painting done by someone close to my heart. But I don't have the permission to post the painting with this poem.. It would be so wonderful if this poem is with the painting.

Madre y Niño
by Ancient-dreamergirl

I was born, you were so happy
I was second for you to love
With so much hope within thee
Heart soaring with gratitude Above

Hardships to see me through
Traverse the wild, hard road
Prayers the mighty weapon
Brought me home the bacon.

I dedicate now this humble art
To a devoted mother I so much love
For without her by my side
Me, nothing, a pauper by the roadside!


The next poem is about the innocence of a child's eyes.

Innocence
by Ancient-dreamergirl

Innocence in their eyes
A beauty to behold
A faith in everything
That needs to be told
In His loving arms
Such wondrous words
Of wisdom, tenderness
Understanding, patience
Affection, but most of all
Thanksgiving for such
Blessings of beauty untold.

ETCHED IN MY MIND

I am sorry that this is a very sad poem. While writing down this poem, I can't help the tears rolling down my cheeks as I remember the painful days in the hospital seeing my mother battle her breast cancer. It was a time when I wish I had magic to bring all my siblings home to make her smile.

ETCHED IN MY MIND
Ancient-dreamergirl

For days you laid helpless in a lonely room
Only my hands to cling on
Wanting to say it is ok the light will come out
Very soon, very soon.

The doctors say a few more days
A few check ups here and there
But days became weeks
Until one day, all gone astray!

Until that very day, you hold on to me
Saying, “I want to go home!”
I said, “Mama dear, very soon, very soon”
I held back the tears in my eyes
For I knew I was lying
The end is near, the end is near.

While waiting for them to come home
I was helpless and all alone
Praying to God for strength and all
What could possibly have gone wrong
I tried everything to let her see the dawn
But Your Time is beckoning her HOME.

ETCHED IN MY MIND forever
Her lonely face of longing
To see all her children around her
But what can I do to ease the pain
Wish I had the magic wand
To bring them all together.

YOU ALWAYS HOLD MY HAND

A poem written years ago when bedridden for double pneumonia. I really thought I would be meeting my CREATOR already, but HE held my hand and had given me more time to be happy with my family..Praise His Holy Name!!

You Always Hold My Hand!

by: ancient-dreamergirl



Because You always hold my hand

In times of extreme sorrow

When my heart is torn in two

When tears are here to flow

Fearing no sun is in the morrow

I lay my head on my pillow,

Close my eyes and dream

That the sun will shine on me

Brighten my days forever.

My faith I hold on strongly

Because You Always Hold my hand!

The End Begins

Written in memory of my parents laid to rest in a memorial park called "Garden of Memories"


The End Begins

by: Ancient-dreamergirl


Walking through the velvety grass

I lay a scented wreath of flowers

I said a little prayer in the mass

For them my heart remembers.



He and she laid there for years

Leaving us in tears we shield

Laughter, songs, whispers in ears

Treasured moments I hold most dear.



I knew then ‘tis the beginning of the end

New life with HIM, a coming of spring

For in life’s journey, something in the bend

I surrender to HIM, much laughter it brings!

Creative Challenge # 9

A Moment In Time
(Free verse)
You have come to fill the void
left by someone I hold so dear
I know that this is just a fantasy
but for a moment in time
Just this once, you are mine.

Maybe they say I am crazy
But to hold you near
To see and touch your face
Is happiness fulfilled
And for a moment in time
Just this once, you are mine!

Let me savor this gossamer
Moment in time for
Just this once, you are mine!!

Creative Challenge # 8 Meaningless Words


MEANINGLESS WORDS
I would rather
you look at me in the eyes
To say you care deeply
without the lies
Of carefully painted words
of make believe
Meaningless words
of hidden love betrayed!

I would rather sit with you
hand in hand
No words between us
only the rushing
Of soft winds fanning
our inner beings
No meaningless words
of hidden love betrayed

I love you with all the strength
of angels’ wings
I love you deeply
Only the voice of my soul
Reverberating
The purity of feelings, my heart
Needs no meaningless
Words of hidden love betrayed!

Creative Chanllenge # 7 A Strength In

A Strength in Failure

Your heart’s desire is not granted
In silence your heart is broken
You still keep a happy surface
For me not to be downhearted!

The sadness you face with valor
Fearless to face tomorrow
Head up high, ah, such grandeur
My child, such strength in failure!

Creative Challenge # 6 In The End

IN THE END
Smile so sweet in the sunlight streaming
I walk the aisle with church bells ringing
So loud to the world announcing
Here I am, so happy to wear thy ring.

Two hearts were bound right down in the bend
Start to fill the home with laughter
Two little kids playing to tickle
Our souls fly high with blessings given.

In just a few years, they will say “I do!”
Leaving us to tears of happiness
Waiting to kiss, hug, play with gusto
Feet running wild, my home, what a mess!

Now, old and wise, wrinkled but happy
Reminiscing, looking and hoping
In the end as in the beginning
Just the two of us, contented, reclining
In a worn rocking chair, wide eyed but smiling!

Creative Challenge # 5 The Beauty Of

The Beauty of My Little Sampaguita

So fragrant its tiny petals
So white and pure
Fresh green leaves to be proud of
Clinging in its helplessness
But not a burden in its lightness.
A symbol of purity,
Modesty, simplicity
Oh my lovely Sampaguita
On my altar, adorn thee!

Creative Challenge # 4 Take Me With


Take Me With You In
Flying above the clear blue skies
Outstretched wings, soaring high
Elegant, majestic as a king!
