whispering hope


God, did you somehow oversleep?
when for hours she whirled
destroying everything she touched
we’re left with lives lost and little to keep.


If she wanted our spirit fazed
she has totally failed
Yolanda, you could not be a Filipina
though strong, you fizzled fast. Ha!


While left with nothing, a Pinoy is strong and steadfast
since for many, as for these two lowly ones,
with great support and millions helping us
there’s hope for a merrier Christmas.





calm before the storm


For God to provide
this calm and quite
amid alarms of a storm coming
beyond doubt, is amazing.

A deafening silence
making one sleepless
but, oh yes!
As well making us think of Him  
to give thanks and have faith
as only He can make us
worry … nevermore.
