Best Friends Forever

Best friends forever,
That’s what we said.
Nothing whatsoever,
Is left unsaid.

Since the day that met
We both had accept,
That promises and secrets
Are always kept.

Near or far,
Wherever we are.
Our friendship will last,
Just like it did in the past.

Inspirational Message: It doesn’t matter how far you and your friend can be, just remember the “friendship” is never that far.

SONS

My time with you is precious
With every beat of my veins.
You both grow so fast
Like weeds above the stone wall.

I wish you love, memories and opportunity
To be the men I know you will become.
My sons are what you are called by some.
My rock and roots are what you have done
To plant my love like an oak.
Hard and strong it will remain
That won’t bend with a typhoon.

Although through time I will get old and wither
My love for you will always get bigger.
It’s time to let you grow now
I hope the world will not smother you.

Just remember sons,
I love you both
Like no other.
Goodnight…
Love your mother.

MY HEART GOES TO GUAM

If I'd wander my way back to Guam
I'd sit and listen to those Island Palms
They'd say here begins America's day

I can see the lovely sunset at Tumon Bay
The ocean waves breaking over the reefs
There on the beach I think of my beliefs
Oh, beautiful Island of the Virgin Mary
Her footstep on the ocean I can carry

I honor the patriotic people living there
They'll always be a part of me as I share
I'll tell you of their struggle for freedom
In the Great War they'd find their wisdom

I felt the warm tropical air on my face
My view from a ridge of this mystic place
The rolling hills look so gentle and calm
Thinking is my way to go back to Guam.

HOME

It's where I was raised.
It's where the beautiful beaches are.
It's where the beautiful sunrises and sunsets are.
It's where the amazing sights are.
It's where the delicious foods are cooked.
It's where I met the amazing people in my life.
It's where I met the love of my life.
It's where I will always come back to.
It's where America's day begins.
It's where home is – GUAM.

Inspirational Message: No matter where you leave off to college, a permanent job, deployment, etc., home is where the heart is. Nothing beats home. It’s where childhood memories will always be. Never forget where you’re from and where you grew up.

Backseat Passenger

As we ride in this car called life,
we never know where we will start,
when the ride will end, or where it is headed.

She was seventeen, and I was still the wondering boy at six.
One time, she slammed my hand between the car and the door.
Bruised and angry, I walked into the backseat, awaiting departure.

Our car may not be in the best shape;
some people's cars are more improved because they're rich.
They could be lined with the nicest rims, a steady engine,
and the nicest color a six year old boy could ever ask for.

Then again, some cars are in horrible condition.
It may have no aircon, a missing wheel, and not enough money for a spare tire.
Love it or hate it, it is still your life.

However, our car is pretty decent, enough to get us around.
Average tires, average rims,
and a spectacular love for it.

We sit idly by as we watch God take the drivers seat.
He chooses when to start the car, when the ride will end,
or where He wants us to go.

The ride will always be fun.
Exchanging pennies for stories and thoughts will never grow old.
Tragedies, comedies, memories, and then some.
These are the moments which really make me enjoy these car rides.

We don't when when our time will come.
Maybe one day we will start swerving,
Sure we'll panic, but what else can we do?

There are no air bags, you will have my arms to embrace you.
There's no insurance, you have my words to say, "Everything is going to be alright."

Whenever God decides to finally end this car ride,
you will always have me to be your backseat passenger, big sister.

Inspirational message: Sometimes, life isn't about why we are here, where we will go, or when will we die. Life is just about enjoying the ride God has blessed us with.

ABSOLUTE BEAUTY

Graceful…

Elegant….

Refined..

Absolute Beauty….

Endless colorful meadows of fragranced carpeting afar

Treasures you bare exhaust my mind to ponder of the immensity

Bestow o’er Thy intimates; your people such to those deserving

Ah, yes deserving…. all who are worthy… invitations self-made

…..realize then laypeople, lest you apologize….

Set your table, eat of the repast you have prepared

Kneed the pillows; where your head shall find comfort

….mind your contentment and the value of your life…

I say to you….exists a place where Love identifies no boundaries

Finally affection shall be birthed eternal in truth

Thus the absence of temptation, ‘lone the effortless rejection of malevolence

Heav’n!

Spirits alive, once soul mates on earth reunited-possess a cultured purity

Perpetual is

Absolute Beauty….

Graceful…

Elegant…

Refined…

find your peace

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: What beauty awaits beyond this life comes from your faith.

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Do your best
In all that you say
In all that you do
To make your life worth living
To make a difference in the lives of others.

Realize that you're important to someone
And your genuine help from the kindness of your heart
To pick up others when the odds are stacked up against them
Gives them hope when they have none.

Remember…
If you help out others with no expectations in return
Then your life will be enriched with abundant goodness
And perhaps one day someone will be there for you too.

Living life right
Sacrificing even it hurts so much
Taking on meaningful challenges that may stab your heart a bit at times
All the while striving to be on the side with one's angel
Whom absorbs the goodness of your beautiful soul
Enables you to live a life that matters.

Keeping up the faith
Working as brothers and sisters
To make this world a better place
Moves a nation and heals our souls -
Tis the power of unity!

Remember that beauty is not dependent on your looks or wealth
But who you are deep within -
A remarkable and beautiful person filled with so much love to spread
Filled with inspirational momentum
To help others because you truly do care
Because you know it's the right thing to do
To make a difference!

And though you're hurting
Though your life is filled with strife that strikes your gentle soul
Sometimes you have to let things go even if you’re hurting deep inside.
You have to release your hold
And let things be
Because maybe it was never meant to be.

Sometimes you have to realize that you can’t take things for granted
Because when you least expect it
What you thought you had can be suddenly stolen
As if someone pulled the carpet fast from under your feet.

You have to hold your head up high even if you would rather cry.
You see, life can be very cruel
And it won’t get any better
Unless you move on with your life
Cut your losses
Invest in hope and faith
And with each day you’ll get stronger, and stronger, and stronger…

Grasp and gain the strength from deep within and trust in God
To live a life that makes a difference -
Tis the wonderful gift of life!
So join me, if you will and
Let's live a life that matters
Because together…
We can make a difference!
