Enlightenment

 by VIENACE


I drank the cup of emptiness
I plunged into the abyss of nothingness
A journey through the deepest darkness

In crowded rooms full of faces,
The weary soul is filled with loneliness
Grasping for that drifting happiness

I face the day struggling inside
In deep silence, vehement cries I confide
Drowning in dark fears I try to hide


Emotions betray thoughts confined
Agonizing battle between heart and mind
Triumph and defeat have been defined


The restless mind goes on and on
Dreaming, thinking, wishing, seeking the unknown
Hoping to have a strength of its own


I gaze unto the horizon
And found the most brilliant light I've ever known
To take hold of it would bring me home... .

this i promise you ...

I'm hoping that one day I'll find that someone I have been waiting for all my life ... I hope he finds me before I start giving up on believing that he's out there somewhere ... and when he finds me, I would ask him to sing me this song ... and in his sweet embrace I'll rest my weary heart ...

  

THIS I PROMISE YOU by NSYNC

Ohh ohh...

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...

Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
This I promise you..

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...

And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby

Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...

My Miracle Mother...

 
This is dedicated to my Mommy  ...

 

My Miracle MotherBy Joanna Fuchs Mom, I look at you
and see a walking miracle.
Your unfailing love without limit,
your ability to soothe my every hurt,
the way you are on duty, unselfishly,
every hour, every day,
makes me so grateful
that I am yours, and you are mine.
With open arms and open heart,
with enduring patience and inner strength,
you gave so much for me,
sometimes at your expense.
You are my teacher,
my comforter, my encourager,
appreciating all, forgiving all.
Sometimes I took you for granted, Mom,
but I don’t now, and I never will again.
I know that everything I am today
relates to you and your loving care.
I gaze in wonder
as I watch you being you—
my miracle, my mother.

A Mother

Anonymous (from Ellen Bailey Poems)

A Mother is one who understands the things you say and do Who always overlooks your faults and sees the best in you A Mother is one whose special love inspires you day by day. Who fills your heart with gladness in her warm and thoughtful way. A Mother is all these things and more - the greatest treasure known. And the dearest Mother in all of the world is the one I call my own. ... i love you very much Mommy! this song's dedicated to you ...

To the Best Mom in the world!

I praise and thank God for the most loving, thoughtful and sweetest mother in the whole world - my Mom!!!

She always makes me feel so loved and cared for.

I admire her so much that if God would will it for me to be a mother, I wanted to become like her.

To my Everdearest Mom,

First, I want to thank you for always putting up with me and my worst moods.

If not for you, I wouldn’t be who I am today. Every dream I have are all inspired by you.  I learned most of the truths I hold precious in my heart from you.

I would always cherish the moments and times we spent enjoying each other’s company. The walk in the malls, …the happy chats and sharing stories while relishing a simple meal at the restaurant, … the times you lovingly held me in your arms, … those times you sat or lied down on my bed asking me how I’m doing, …our exchange of "i love you’s", …and I treasure most especially the times you would embrace me after we had a fight.  I  can’t help but cry every time I reminisce on those days and nights. Thank you for always being there for me.  Thank you for loving me … and for teaching me the real meaning of what true love is.

Mommy, I love you very, very much.

I want you to know that you’re the unsung hero of my life. 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! 

I dedicate this song to you Mommy ...

"I Turn To You" by Christina Aguilera

When I'm lost in the rain,
In your eyes I know I'll find the light
To light my way.
And when I'm scared,
And losing ground,
When my world is going crazy,
You can turn it all around.
And when I'm down you're there
- pushing me to the top.
You're always there,
giving me all you've got.
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on
For everything you do,
for everything that's true
I turn to you.
When I lose the will to win,
I just reach for you and
I can reach the sky again.
I can do anything
'Cause your love is so amazing,
'Cause your love inspires me.
And when I need a friend,
You're always on my side
Giving me faith
taking me through the night
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on
For everything you do,
for everything that's true
I turn to you.
For the arms to be my shelter
through all the rain,
For truth that will never change,
For someone to lean on,
For a heart I can rely on through anything,
For that one who I can run to...
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on
For everything you do,
for everything that's true
I turn to you.
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on
For everything you do,
for everything that's true
I turn to you.
I turn to you...

Reminiscing . . .

I left him with a song … he gave it back to me with a heartfelt singing … and the memory of him singing that love song left an ineffaceable mark in my soul. He has always been a special part of me; drowned in the busy mundane events of life…but cherished and never forgotten. Twenty-one years had passed…After the tears, I could find myself smiling now.
A friend stood in the crowd. The other stood under a spotlight, with a secret love he thought was unreciprocated. He wasn’t sure if she has feelings for him…until after he received her letter with a song. Unfortunately, he got another woman pregnant and had to marry her. It’s a love ended before it even had the chance to flourish. He sang that love song as the last outcry of their hearts. No one knew why he was always singing it…except for her who dedicated the song to him.
Love! Such a wonderful thing it is!

LOVE ...

what is love?

love is ...  

from a dictionary:

         . . . a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. 

          . . . a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

          . . . a feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair.

Love is something I yearn for every now and then. It's something I can't live without! I think that is true with everybody in the world. It's like air. . . you breathe it. You live it! It is what keeps me living and going. It makes the weight and the troubles of daily living bearable. It gives me hope.  Gives me reasons to smile.  Fills the depths of my soul. It is the music of my life. Love makes my heart skip a beat. Oh, yes! my heart beats for love!

Love is everything I dream of and hope to have forever!

Some say that when it comes to love . . . 

"Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much a heart can hold."  

- Zelda Fitzgerald

"The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we can never give enough of is love." - Henry Miller

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love."  

- Sophocles

Well, all I can say is

Love is such a wonderful thing!
