Unfamiliar Faces

Walking from one place to another
Do you ever just simply
Wonder about the people we pass?
Wondering
Whether to look upon them?
Wondering
Where are they heading?
Wondering
Whether to look them in the eye?
Wondering
Whether the look in their eyes will show…
A Secret Thought
Pain, Sadness,
Happiness or Joy.
Wondering
What do you see in me?
Wondering
Do you see…
My Secret Thoughts
My pain, My Sadness
Or is it Happiness or Joy.
Wondering
Should I care what you see in my eyes?
Just like that
The unfamiliar face is gone.
A new one appears.
Wondering cycle begins again.

Life Goes On

Life Goes On

You have to take the good with the bad,

smile when you're sad, love what you've

got and remember what you had... Always

forgive but never forget, learn from your

mistakes but never regret. People change,

things go wrong Just remember,

Life goes on!

convention

i am sick
of convention
and groomed lawns.
unspoken rules
push us forward
through the processor
of civilization
towards a culture
where there is a pattern
for everything.
acceptability.
mediocrity.
even
creativity.

Three birds chirping in the ground

What do they say?

I wonder

One more bird comes around

All birds fly away

What did they say?

I wonder

Working Mom

Working Mom

Each new day it's a different tale.

I work and go to college everyday without any fail.

I have two kids that I adore.

Aside from working, I also do all the cleaning chores.

My husband helps me as much as he can.

I have his support, he's a wonderful man.

At times in my life I'm very stressed.

But over all, I feel very blessed.

I'll be teaching soon, that what I aspire

Hopefully someday I'll be admire.

silent and still

like a lamp in the daylight
waiting to serve your purpose

illumination awaits you

Recuerdo

Recuerdo

Recuerdo cuando supe de ti,
Que alegría había en mi ser.
Anhelaba tanto escuchar,
Tu corazoncito palpitar.

Recuerdo cuando te sentí,
No habrá otro momento.
Te movías y mi aliento se agotaba,
Mas mi amor por ti aumentaba.

Recuerdo cuando te conocí,
Fue algo tan inolvidable.
Al fin pude abrazar y contemplar,
El tesoro que Dios me quiso regalar.

Destiny's child, oh, how you make me smile
Tender love, sent from up above
God's gift, a blessing in disguise
Make no mistakes, you were pre destined to live
You're here for a purpose and that you shall fulfill
As you grow you will know
and understand what God has planned
Follow your heart
Follow your dreams
praising God in everything

Rain

Rain, Rain, we need you

We are so thirsty and so dry

the sound of thunder and the

sky turning dark blue

Rain drops falling from the sky

Rain, Rain, we need you

Fiance

I see my fiance and I begin to think.

There are so many people that are divorced

There are so many people that have cheated on one another.

-

I wonder if he has doubts.

I wonder if he really loves me.

I wonder if we will last together 'till death do us part.

-

Will he be truthful?

Will he be honest?

Will I be his one and only?

-

I wonder.

The Road to.........?

I am tired
Never ending routine
My brain is out of gas
Body just going threw the motions
I tell myself I can do it!

I drive over an hour
With only my thoughts for company
I walk over compressed pebbles and concrete
Down the road to higher learning
I tell myself
The reward will be grand
I walk to the brown bricks
Through the doors
And up the steps
I walk threw a corridor
Long, narrow, and cold
I sit in chair thats too small
no space
I sit
I am tired

Alas!
years pass
I can see the light
The reward will be grand
I can see the light
Its all been worth it
I am rejuvenated!
