"Beautiful child!...just like you.",
Echoed words of others, beamed with pride
I am what you always knew I could be,
A mirrored image of yourself
You formed the castle from the sand,
You showed me how to be a great woman
You built the walls and made them strong
You showed me morals that last as long
Years before...
Are laid beneath painted skies
As the birds chase each other in a swarm
And I imagine you here once again,
Beside me...your voice still echoes
As it coats me of many colours
It is time for a new season
Though it is not like all the rest
I have changed once again
While my dream gets closer
It is now within my reach
And the values you taught me
Ring in my ears once again
I shall not forget my thoughts
Which are pastel-colored
Like a wondrous pageant
Of floral bouquets
Lined up against
The white picket fence
And the pristine house
Which only you, Daddy
Could build with love
With your gifted hands
I see you in my mind's eye
And it is just like
You are fluttering
Like an angel with wings
And you have given me
All that I could ever desire
In a christian world,
You've served the Lord
On the last breath you took
And since your untimely demise
I cling unto your memories
While I am missing you,
You are watching over me
Down here below..
I feel your love to the fullest
Because you left your light
On the road I walk
Never fearing traversing the dark
Because by my side I feel
You are the shadow beneath my path...
to my Daddy, Rodolfo B. Cangco
