God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the things I can; and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.
we miss you so much bro... / Kuya Wad
We feel a warmth around us like your presence is so near, And when we close our eyes to visualize your face when you were here,
We've all lost some loved ones To many different things I hate losing loved ones Loved ones are special
You try so hard To hold on But in one small second Loved ones are gone
So to Andrei
Even though we cannot speak no more our voice is always there, Because every night before we sleep we have you in our prayers
So everyone endure the times yous spent together and lock it inside your heart, For as long as you have those memories you will never be apart.
My brother, I know that death is not the end its only a bridge to another place. So rest in peace our loved one forever, your spirit and love will always be in our hearts. Love you always...
it' hard... / Kuya Wad
It?s not hard to say, it?s just hard to believe but when it?s hard to believe, it?s hard to say just like that, they took you away, far away
death comes to everyone, this i know but YOU.. i said "this gotta be a show" just WHY YOU? why couldnt it be someone else
it?s even harder trying to write this poem so much on my mind that i want to write it all down but the words crumble up, cant find the right pieces
maybe u?are in a better place, this i hope but it?s not even pass ur time, nor ur prime i want you back.. i want you back badly
it?s hard to believe that you?re really gone it?s even harder just trying to say your name n all i know is that i want you back
i know a million words would not bring you back neither would a million tears, i know.. becoz i have tired and becoz i have cried..
at the end, all i know is that i want you back know wat?s funny, it?s not hard to say that at all it?s just hard to believe, that i wont see u again,bro.
I AM WITH YOU - EVER NEAR / Edrinne
Still your weeping Dry your tears Grieve not for me For I am near Go not to that earthy mound I lie not there, beneath the ground I am near you every day I see your pleasures, joys and fears Still to my heart you are dear I am with you – ever near To see you weep saddens me To see your joy gladdens me So – hinder not my happy way We will meet another day.
miss you bro... / Kuya Wad
Angels all around us,
watching over us with care,
We can't always see them,
but we know that they are there.
To watch over & protect us,
to keep us out of harms way,
to guide us on our journey,
in all we do or say.
An Angels work is never done,
many times our life has been saved,
we may not have felt their presence,
or known we were kept from the grave.
They don't ask for anything,
they follow the master's plan,
when it don't work out that way,
we have to try & understand.
They may not have protected him,
when his path was somehow crossed,
when he did everything right,
and now his life has been lost.
Mom, Please don't cry and try & see,
that he was not alone,
during this time that he moved on,
the angels carried him home.
safely home... / Kuya Wad
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
I shall rest in God's own land.
There is work still waiting for you.
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in God's own land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
the day you left... / Kuya Wad
How will I handle the day that you left? We've been together so long it's hard to believe.
A month or two later we were inseparable, and being without you will be unbearable.
You've been by my side for over ten years, through good times and bad times and even some tears.
You seem to understand me, like no one else has. You've been a great listener, and never let my words pass.
You never let me down, you never complain, you never ask for too much, even if you're in pain.
Whatever I ask of you, you do. You never question why, or need a reason to.
You trust me with your life, and would give yours for mine. But as much as I love you, we're running out of time.
I know you'll soon leave me and I'll never see you again, but I want you to know, you've been my best friend.
I'll never forget you, or what you've meant to me. I won't forget our time together, as long as it may be.
The day you leave I'll begin to search for another, I know this will be difficult, losing a brother like you.
I will have to be strong,
Though it won't be the same without you here, I'll always love you Hero, and keep you near.
You're a part of my life that will never die, and the day that you leave I know I will cry.
With what's left of our time, we'll continue to play, and I'll try not to think about that day. The day that you leave me, and go far away, the day that my Hero flies away. i miss you bro...
NOW GONE YET STILL HERE / Kuya Pot
People come and go but memories never fade. It may seem as though they disappear but the truth is they are always there hidden until uncovered.
He will remain in my memory and in my heart forever, never to leave or worse, be forgotten. I let him go but I'll always remember.
His voice will forever be heard, his laughter always ring out, his touch forever on my skin. That last hug, that last kiss, his last words, will not be the last.
Yes it's true he's gone for good but it's also true that he never left and never will. He lives on.
GOD is the Firmest Anchor / Edrinne
"GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountain be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled..."
Psalm 46:1-3 (King James Version)
GOD is the firmest anchor to our ship...
KEEP THE FAITH / Elisa
"In my distress I cried unto the LORD,
And He heard me..."
(Psalm 120:1 King James Version)
Keep the faith in the Lord
and you would see through it all.
My prayers are with you.
Truly An ANGEL To Me... / GELI&GELO
Thank you God,
For pretending not to notice that
one of your angels is missing
and guiding him for me.
You must have known how much
I would need him, so
You turned your head for a minute
and allowed him to slip away to me.
Sometimes I wonder what special name
You had for him.
I call him my beloved "To Peng"...
truly an angel to me.
Andrei..../ Kuya Wad
My brother Andrei I miss you so much, The way you smiled and your tender touch, It’s so hard my brother to say goodbye, It breaks my heart to let you go, But I know you are safe my brother, With Jesus hand in hand, A soldier in God’s army, A beautiful angel guarding our fallen land, God planned your birth before you were conceived, His love for you unfathomable so beautiful so vast, He whispered breath into your tiny body, And gently captured your last, I know you are watching as we prepare to set you free, A part of me died with you that day, And is in Heaven holding you now, With God’s help one day I will once again celebrate life, I know that only He can show me how, With dignity as God’s child I take strength and am strong, I keep telling myself I must let you go with grace, But Oh Andrei on this side of Heaven it all seems so wrong, Right now I would give my life to see your sweet face, Such comfort I take in God’s promise we will reunite, One glorious day we will NEVER again have to say goodbye.
GODs grace / Ate Mabee/kuya Wad
I did not know His love before, the way I know it now. I could not see my need for Him, my pride would not allow. I had it all, without a care, the "self-sufficient" lie. My path was smooth, my sea was still, not a cloud was in my sky.
I thought I knew His love for me, I thought I'd seen His grace. I thought I did not need to grow, I thought I'd found my place. But then the way grew rough and dark, the storm clouds quickly rolled; The waves began to rock my ship, I found I had no hold.
The ship that I had built myself was made of foolish pride. It fell apart and left me bare, with nowhere else to hide. I had no strength or faith to face the trials that lay ahead, And so I simply spoke His name and bowed my weary head.
His loving arms enveloped me, and then He helped me stand. He said, "You still must face this storm, but I will hold your hand." So through the dark and lonely night He guided me through pain. I could not see the light of day or when I'd smile again.
Yet through the pain and endless tears, my faith began to grow. I could not see it at the time, but my light began to glow. I saw God's love in a brand new light, His grace and mercy too. For only when all self was gone could Jesus' love shine through.
It was not easy in the storm, I sometimes wondered why. At times I thought, "I can't go on." I'd hurt, and doubt, and cry. But Jesus never left my side He guided me each day. Through pain and strife, through fire and flood, He helped me all the way.
And now I see as never before how great His love can be. How in my weakness He is strong, how Jesus cares for me! He worked it all out for my good, although the way was rough. He only sent what I could bear, and then He said, "Enough!"
He raised His hand and said, "Be still!" He made the storm clouds cease. He opened up the gates of joy and flooded me with peace. I saw His face now clearer still, I felt His presence strong, I found anew His faithfulness, He never did me wrong.
And now I know more storms will come, but only for my good, For pain and tears have helped me grow as nothing ever could. I still have so much more to learn as Jesus works in me; If in the storm I'll love Him more, That's where I want to be.
god sent us an angel... / Mabee
God sent us an Angel
For in His wisdom
Yes God knew,
That we would go
Through many battles
Some uphill and
Down hills, too.
God sent us an Angel
To turn all our skies blue,
To help us in
Our every moment
In this worlds
Ever changing hue.
God sent us an Angel
Just so us would know,
That He loves
And cares for every one of us
And we have a place to go.
God sent us an Angel
Chosen especially for us,
To guide us in
This world He made
And help to see us through.
God sent us an Angel
So that we will
Never be alone,
And when our
Life is through
Our Angel
Will take us home.

missing you.. / Kuya Wad
I miss you so very much, wishing you didn't leave us here all alone! All I have of you are pictures & memories I can't ever let go!
Dreaming of you everynight Knowing you're in a much better place, wishing, I stand next to you seeing your smile on your face!
Asking myself day & night, why you had to leave us! A question with no answer, only the Lord above knows!
I can't stand another day without your guide! I have an empty feeling in my heart inside!!
But we shall met again, brother later in our long world! Until then, each & everyday I will always think about you!!
At Peace Little One / Edrinne/Elisa
I still hear you crying, when I wake up at night I reach into your cot, and feel you cling so tight I feel your tiny fingers, curl around my hand And imagine you floating, to a far away land
I know you've been taken my baby, but I'm with you all the time I'll protect you the best I can, my darling baby, your still mine I know I can't comfort you, or sing you to sleep but the love I have for you, is the one thing you can keep
Your tiny little tears, will be felt each time it rains but no one can ever help me, or take away my pain Of losing my darling son, my joy, my love, my pride, Nothing can hurt more, than the pain deep inside
No one can feel the sorrow, no one can understand How hard it is for me, without your tiny hand I'll always remember your smile, and your laugh that was so sweet And I can picture your little toes, and your tiny little feet
I can't ever pick you up, or ever hold you tight And Ill never cuddle you, when you cry at night I dont know where you are, but I can see your star when you come out at night, I hold your teddy tight
I look up to you and sing, and try to get you to sleep But the baby I once had, is no longer mine to keep Now your Gods little angel, who I know will grow To be a wonderful person, whose love you will always show
Don't cry now my little baby, I can't bare to think of you alone Since you died and left me, Ive never felt so alone We were meant to be together, it's just not our time yet Hold on up there darling, I promise I'll be there soon, I won't forget!!
FOR MY KUYA POT / Elisa
Dear Kuya,
Life awaits me beyond the stars. Don't worry kuya I'm not that far. I'm closer than you'll ever know. Close to your heart but closest to your soul. In your mind I will live on. In your heart I will and shall go on. I'll follow you through out your life. You see the footsteps you take and I'll always be one step behind. I'm there when you need me. So please do not cry for I am still here... forever will be here by your side.
Love, Peng
INTO EACH LIFE / Kuya Pot
Into each life a little rain will fall,
But if you have a brother, You can bear it all;
For he is an umbrella, to hold above your head, And help you think about the sunny days instead.
Into each life a little sun will shine,
But if you have a brother, it will always be fine;
If you can share the sunny times with him that will be grand,
As you talk and walk together, securely hand in hand.
Into each life a little wind will blow,
But if you have a brother to whom you can always go,
He can help to guide you, can help you make the choice,
By offering their view and adding a new voice.
Into each life, like leaves things will fall,
But if you have a brother you know that you can call,
They'll always steer you clearly, when their counsel's sought,
For he is like a safety net in which you will be caught.
