SALUTATION TO A WOMAN

SALUTATION TO A WOMAN

Stars and moon in the sky dance

As you bloom your innate fragrance.

Roar of the animals in the farm

Inspired by your beauty and charm.

Creatures of this earth bow down

As you walk around the town.

River flows gaily into the sea

Vast ocean of Pacific waves calmly.

Inheritance of goddess Venus’ glamour

Suitable for you to be the splendor.

Absolutely you possess remarkable intelligence

Yield by your hardwork and diligence.

You’re the greatest gift of this world

Satiation of this hungry world.

LITTLE FLOWER

LITTLE FLOWER

Mother Earth, we praise you,

Little flower blooms because of you.

Charm and beauty it possesses,

Heart and soul it brings happiness.

Exemplary for uprightness and goodness,

Life becomes many-splendored mysteries.

Leaves adore before its presence,

Mankind fascinated with its florescence.

Thorns of the plants cannot hurt it,

Arrogant animals kneel down before it.

Creeks and rivers wave their hands,

Angels look and smile at our land.

No creature excels with little flower,

God is the only creator and maker.

"WHERE ARE YOU LORD"

"WHERE ARE YOU LORD"

One man living in this earth

Who is suffering since birth 

He is a man of vices

And his trials never ceases.

One time he talked to his dear God

A distance long from high above

About all his shortcomings on earth

Which he experienced since birth.

Where are you Lord during my sickness,

In times of my defeat and my difficulties?

Where are you Lord during my sadness,

In times of my sinfulness and my anxieties?

Where are you Lord during my great humiliation,

In times of my frustration and my prosecution?

Where are you Lord during my poverty,

In times of my fear and my misery?

God replied, "My son, my beloved son,

How I waited this day that you'll tell me,

All your doubts and grudges against me,

Just ask, pray, and believe me my son."

"Do not worry for all your endeavors,

I will open all your closed doors,

And remove all your burden,

As well as all your life's problem."

The man cried and worshiped his dear God

And said "I will adore you from above,

From now on you're my Almighty God,

And I will praise your name from above."

LIFE'S TEST

"LIFE'S TEST"

Life is full of tests

And so many lapses

We should do our best

And live life to the fullest.

Only a coward will escape

In times of defeat

But the drastic will fight for it

Even unto death.

A man of dread certainly fails

But a man of courage surely succeeds.

CRY OF A BABY

"CRY OF A BABY"

Huh... huh... huh...

The baby cried 

Huh... huh... huh...

The baby cried

With his mother beside.

How sweet is a cry

Of a baby?

In the mother's custody,

Listening like sweet music,

That the big rocks break.

How great is a cry 

Of a baby?

Like angels who pray,

To ask from their deity,

And to purify the day.

The cry of a baby

Is likely

Proclaiming the majesty.

Like a seraph from above,

A herald of God.
