Keeping the Calm

I see the wisdom
why we need calm
quiet and peace
in our lives.

Nothing is resolved
when my heart
is troubled
my mind confused.

I see positive outcome
when I am calm
I feel contentment
when I am at peace.

Everything has its pace
things can/may happen
at its right time
silently and effortlessly.

Tuwing Pasko

Tuwing malapit na ang pasko
may kasiyahang taglay ito
at may pag-asa sa puso ko.

Napapansin ko tuwing pasko
trahedya sa iba`t ibang dako
ang taglay nitong bawat pasko.

Subalit patuloy ang pasko
pagdiriwang`t pagreregalo
sa kapwa`t sa Diyos ng pasko.

Hasta que no pueda mas

Hasta que no pueda mas
abriré la puerta de resistencia
contando en mi coraje
y la buena voluntad.

Hasta que  no pueda mas
pensaré en las memorias
como fue una mujer valiente
y llena de felicidad.

Hasta que no pueda mas
actualizaré mis deseos profundos
que me den una vida plena
y no me venceré jamas.

Life is so short

Life is so short to live
in its fullness I rejoice.

Life is so short to waste
on matters that are unimportant.

What seems to block
my own vision be removed.

Let fantasies that imprison the truth
inside and outside be gone.

May I be glad to welcome
all that is new and present.
