ECHOES OF THE HEART...

MY PASSION...



It was the JOY I felt after the activity...
The smiles of the elderly on their faces are still vivid,
Their rendition of songs expresses what they feel,
And their expressions of gratitude echo in my ears
As I put myself to rest after a full day with them.

What a day indeed…what a realization…
Making a Difference? Is this how it is?
All I know is I was happy doing things for them.
Dancing with them, listening to their stories.
Giving my time and showing them love and care.

They are responsible why I now have this passion.
The reasons the path of the unknown no longer lure in my restless soul
For now, my life's purpose is clear.
Yes, my spirit is now anchored with this passion,
Notwithstanding the intricate tapestries of life,
I will pursue this passion with the EQUANIMITY of my soul.




INSEPARABLE...



My head on my pillows, I think of you and the distance between us.
My heart unites with the time and space that separate us.
I close my eyes to synchronize the beating of our hearts,
Trying to dissolve the boundaries and imagine that you are with me.

I begin to think of the moments I had with you.
The happy times we had are like songs in my heart.
In the air that I breathe your love echoes and your passion reverberates,
Making our love soar and become stronger.

I stick these moments in my memory and heart and make them real at times I want to be with you.
Every expression of care reminds me of how much you love me,
Every act of thoughtfulness assures me of your love that is true.
A great love I will forever treasure till death do us part.

How I wish I have enough time to just think of all of these.
How I wish time and space will banish so that I will be with you forever.
At the moment this is impossible though, because we are miles apart.
I can only wish…I can only dream…but in my thoughts, in my heart and with my LOVE…I can make this REAL and FOREVER.
