I’m fine
with hurting
even with
bruising
as long as
I’m bleeding
with you.

Little Sacrifice
Aside from reflecting
and meditating,
I committed to sacrificing,
my one and only ‘vice’–
which is..yep.. blogging.
For three days,
I resisted my fingers itch,
my heart’s thumping pitch,
though my mind’s, yes,
a tempting witch.
Those three days
were not easy
but how mild is it
and breezy
compared to what he did,
for you and me.
Now I’m back
excited and blissful,
while HE remains
loving and faithful.
❤

Looking around this strange new foreign land, I saw a world that’s unknown. Hoping and praying, a better life would be sown.
I don’t have legal documents, only my passport. That’s why I fear the word deport.
Resisting my heart’s aching and racing, insisting this is a leap worth taking, I brush off my tears that keeps on coming.
For father who needs heart bypass, for mother whose mem’ry can’t seem to last, for sister now four-month old pregnant, for little brother who’s always repugnant, for them I am taking this gamble with mind and heart in ramble.
For them.

A salute to the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) who loved their families more than they love themselves.
