A FRIEND FROM ABOVE....

I prayed for you before we met, 
Not knowing who you'd be. 
I asked the Lord to send a friend. 
One chosen just for me. 

I asked that they'd be Godly, 
With wisdom of His ways. 
A friend to help and guide me 
I the troubles of these days. 
 
So often in life, we need someone 
To listen while we talk. 
Someone who will not condemn or judge, 
But encourage us as we walk. 
  
The narrow road we choose to follow 
May sometimes make us stumble. 
But to have a friend to catch our fall, 
Teaches us to be humble. 

When I asked the Lord to send a friend, 
Though many came and went. 
He gave much more than I ever asked, 
For you are the friend He sent.

Best friend!

A Best Friend!
A friend that really cares!
All my secrets i can share!
There when i need a hand!
There to understand!

When i cry!
She will be by!
If i am away!
She will call me day by day!
If i need her at all!
She'll be there to stand tall!
Anything i say will be heard!
She will listen word by word!
If I am late!
She will open the gate!

As she looks in my eyes!
The sparkle she realize!
She is the one that cares!
And the one thats there!

That's a best Friend!!

Special Friend

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, 
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will 
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
                from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

You're a true friend, that I want you to know, Our love for each other has helped us to grow. We've been through some tough times, but we've made it through, The only one I ever trusted was you. You helped me through anger, you've chased away fears. You held me through sadness, and kissed away tears. You stayed by my side when the world turned away. You helped me see joy when the skies were all gray. You were the rainbow at the end of the storm. You help me be different when I shouldn't conform. You held my hand when you knew we would fall. Every heartache, you saw me through it all. I'm not sure I'm always the best friend to you, I know I'm not perfect, but this much is true.

When life gets you down, And there's nowhere to turn, I'll help you through and I'll share your concern. I'll try my best to return every favor, When you're sure that you'll drown, then I'll be your lifesaver; Even if we both go down. Whether we sink or swim doesn't matter at all, Just know that I'll be there whenever you call.

I'll pull you out when life pulls you under. I'll be the sun when there's lightning and thunder. And when it's all over, And we've fought every war, There's one thing I promise, Of this I am sure, When the time comes that we're put to our rest. Be sure that you know that, My friend, you're the best. And if there is Heaven, then I know you'll be there, That if you die first then you'll hear every prayer. And soon I'll join you, but just know until then. That I'll miss you each day 'til I see you again. At the end of the tunnel, you'll be my guiding light, You'll lead me to heaven, away from the night. We'll be there together, and we'll never grow old. And we'll walk hand in hand On the streets paved of gold.

I've been searching for that someone, to show me the way, to take my hand and tell me that everything will be okay; I've been searching for that someone, and now I know it's true, I've found that special someone, I've found that someone in you. Me and You Are Friends... You fight, I fight... You hurt, I hurt... You cry, I cry... You jump off a bridge... I'm gonna miss your dumb ass!Thank you for the friendship you have offered; rest assured that I'll treasure it in my heart and will always remember that once in my life, I've known someone like you. I will always be there for you, through the good times and the bad, the smooth and the rough, or just any other time you need somebody ... Just look for me, and I'll be there for you As I look back on my past, I remember the jokes I laughed at, the things I missed and lost, but there's one thing I'll never regret, it's the day you become my friend. Friends are like wedgies. They're intimately close. They know you're inner self. And it feels great when you pick out a good one Friends should be the ones listening to your secrets, not the ones that hurt your feelings without knowing. Friends should be the ones that keep all your secrets, not those who spread it all around   The best friend you can have is one you can sit on the porch with and not say a word, then get up and feel like that was the best conversation you've ever had  A great friend is someone who makes your problems their problems just so you don't have to go through them alone A true friend walks in when the whole world walks out

Love

You are the sun in my day, the wind in my sky,
the waves in my ocean, and the beat in my heart.

All my dreams came true the day that I met you.
I Love You!

You are the sunshine of my life! Thanks for brightening
my world with the warmth of your Love...

You are the fire that burns the passion within my soul.
I love You with all my heart...

I want to be your arms, I want to feel your touch,
I want your lips on mine, I need you very much.

Unforgettable experience

     It was June 19, 2009 and super typhoon frank was raging around our home and almost all western visayas region roofs were flying trees were being uprooted. “just bend, don’t break”, I prayed

    The storm gathered in force. Rain was falling heavily,  and water was pouring into the house around the edges of the closed windows.

             I looked out at the back door and watched in amazement as the slope behind my aunt Louisa’s house turned into a waterfall. Then I heard people shouting, “the river bed that ran through the back of our neighborhoods was approximately 20 meters wide and 10 meter deep.

           There was no time to think. As the water came rushing in my sisters and I picked up our 2 cats and we ran out of our house  with my father and mother. We decided to transfer in our  nipa  house where it cannot reach by the flood.

          At the nearby house we were given foods, shelters and medical attention. The rain stopped during the night. At dawn the landscape  that spread out before us was so real. Our neighborhood was now a wasteland. The water had receded and sand, mud and debris covered everything. I  made my way to what was left of the house where I left our dog. I found my dog unharmed and oblivious  to had happened.

             “Don’t Break,  Just Bend.” The worlds became a mantra in my mind as I walked around. The house where we had huddled in fear was buried in mud. The old river and creek were both gone new water ways ran ware houses and streets once stood. Pigs and chicken lay dead. And there, amid the debris, was the Christmas tree, bent but not broken! Perhaps it was God’s way of telling us all was not lost.

            We later learned that we were among the lucky ones. Despite everything that had happened, we were alive and could start over again.

         But nature is a force to be reckoned with. In the weeks and months that  followed,  new leaves had begun to sprout from the trees stump.

            Our neighborhood has slowly comeback to life as well. New house had been built were old ones were destroyed, the field are being tilled despite the muddy soil condition.

              Life mat never get back to normal but our neighborhood has adapted as best  as it can. Perhaps the pine tree as a Christmas tree, will light up again.
