ODE TO MY MOTHER
Yesterday, January 30th, is the fourth death anniversary of my dear mother, ALICIA. It’s been four years, the grief is lesser now and of course the pain passes, but surely our love for her remains. For my Nanay, I know you’re happy wherever you are, this is for you:
ODE TO MY NANAY
Life continues but still empty
I am now home but
you’re not here anymore.
I still miss your voice
and your sunny laughter
I still search your face amongst the crowd.
I am longing for your wings
You left me in void
Which I can never fill up.
Wishing I was with you
During your dying hours
And said my last goodbye.
But I was not able to show
And say how much I love you
For the last time.
My heart is still broken
Coz I was not there
To take care of you.
I am still in pain
‘Coz I didn’t see your pain
Not even once.
My tears keep on falling
‘Coz I didn’t cry enough
‘Coz I didn’t mourn enough.
I saw you in my dreams
You are so beautiful and happy
I am at peace with that somehow.
I LOVE YOU NANAY
These words I failed to say
I ‘ll just blow kisses for you to the wind.
Here is your daughter
Longing for your embrace
Loving you forever.

sis, i really cried when i read your poem, coz my father also died last year and i was not there. i keep dreaming of my father too, kasi di ko pa siya nadadalaw yung puntod nya. di ako nakauwi kasi kakauwi ko lang last year that time buhay pa sya. sa panaginip ko na lang din sya nakikita na parang buhay pa. i miss my papa so much.

That’s a touching poem. Remember that loved ones may die in body but their spirit continues to live through you, your actions, your mannerisms, and your carrying on of their legacy. We actually wrote a nice story about this about 4 days ago which may uplift you to some degree. Obviously you can delete this comment if you think it’s spam but i really hope you’ll read the story as it applies to this situation.

@richelle - hi,sis!don’t worry, like my nanay, for sure, your father understands that. Ako, i was able to go home for her funeral before, but of course, like any other loss, the pain is still there. Grieving continuous, but like me, give your time to mourn. Nweis, musta ang job application? I started my work today.hay, naninibago pa ko.hehe.
@Imaniceperson - thanks for that post. I just read it, and you’re right, we should keep their positive influences in our memory banks.
