I kissed thy forehead that morning.
I never thought it was going to be the last. 

It has been five years.....

 

        Silvery light beams across thy face,                
     
              Beloved Nanay, I can't help but gaze                          

Traces of thy most gentle love adorns the breeze

Thy caring laughters and whispering joys slowly freeze... 

In this wondrous moment, I feel

Thou art there, I am still.

And Just before the sun bids the sky goodbye

My heart imparts, I love Thee so much, Nanay!

     thy Youngest Daughter,

   Elena Maria Mana-ay Parcon

Author's note:

My beloved Mother whom we dearly call "Nanay" died last October 17, 2010.

How i miss and love her so much. "Speak Softly Love" was her favorite song.

The above  poem i wrote as a tribute and dedication.
