TIK TOK MUKMOK.....

tik tak tik tak
nakakatakot ang oras na pumapatak.
tik tak tik tak
otso-otso ang trabaho kong wasak.

isang minuto ang nawala;
nababawasan din ang kita.
pano na pag nagkasakit ako?
anong kakainin ng pamilya ko?

kailangan magtrabaho,
sampu ang pinag aaral ko.
kapag nabawasan ang oras ng paggawa;
anong kailangang mawala?

pagkain, bahay, tubig, damit
ano bang aking uunahin?
tik tak tik tak
trabaho, pera, trabaho, pamilya....

i miss my light.... so much....

My light is going somewhere I cannot follow;
My light is going somewhere I cannot reach;
If I ask my light not to leave...
I know she would get mad at me, automatically.

I don't want my light to go..
at least not where I cannot follow..
I don't want my light to go...
For I will be embraced by shadows...

Ive lived my life with her....
with shadows falling behind me....
and now my light is fading....
could this be the start of my bitter ending?

I hate the darkness;
but I will be strong;
for I know my light will return...
In time she'll be HOME.

with this pen...

you go away in the mid-morning;
and arrives late in the evening;
you will always look so tired...
but still, you smiled...

you work 8 hours a day...
and work 8 hours at night....
and at this point I have to ask...
do you ever get tired?

I saw you cry that one time..
you said "ill do it for you, anytime"
I don't know why it felt heavy,
You really would give anything for another penny...

I'm sorry it took this long...
for me to figure out what is wrong...
And as I write with this pen in my hand...
I hope you'll be proud even if this isn't grand...
