LITTLE BY LITTLE

Big Things Start 🌱Small

I've come to see, through quiet years
Of the truth that whispers in my ears
In each of my every act, however slight
Has to gear forward with a great might

THE SILENT WHISPERS

🌿 The Silent Tree

Beneath this quiet shade where I frequently lie,
The leaves flutter to make a harmonious lullaby.
I heard it as the wind softly whispers in the air,
The ancient tells a tale of a wild finding its lair.

SPEAKING OF LOVE

Explain L❤️ve

Love is a mystery wrapped in beauty, so enchanting it stirs the hearts of all who hear its name.

Whether you're learned or unlearned, young or old, boy or girl, love calls to something deep within.

GONE, BUT FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

A Letter to "ASH"
Born: Sept. 30, 2021 🖤 Died: May 1, 2024

You came into our lives, not with grandness, but with quiet grace, tail wagging, eyes full of light, heart ready to love.

You never asked for much, just a kind word, a warm hand, a moment to sit beside us, when the world grew too heavy.

MEMOIR OF A LOVELY TREE

O My Lovely 🌳Tree

O my lovely tree, you shade my daily walk
One morning, I paused beneath your cloak
Branches though bent in breeze, were kind
A cool canopy that eases a troubled mind

A POEM FOR MY BABY

👼My Little Girl

Spending half my life within these walls
The seldom I felt it, whenever work calls
A life that is not an open book to be told
Years secretly rolled by as I only grow old

JUST ANOTHER PASSING DAY

When 😢Sadness Lingers on

The day is shady and dreary, no one comes to me.
The class is dry and noisy, no professor you to see.

I cry, and I pray, no tears to feel, nor voice to hear.
Only hubbub that knows not a fancy's end is near.

THE AUGUSTINIAN CAROLERS

The Seminary Christmas 🎅Carolling

Soldiers of God in St. Augustine’s care
Gathered in joy, with laughter in the air
Clothed in white, so radiant and bright
A passersby went amazed at the sight
Said, "they saw angels walking in light"

ACROSS THE SEAS OF MEMORY

A Nostalgic Travel by the Sea

Beyond the hills on the horizon high
Languid gaze swept the seaward sky
The clouds coil in an afternoon gleam
Where wonder stir of hope and dream
