Hindi ko alam kung sa handphone na hawak ko natatakot ang batang ito o sa tubig habang pinaliliguan ng ina niya. Hindi kasi ako kilala nung bata, nasa sinapupunan pa lang siya ng kanyang ina noong umalis ako ng Tundo. Yung ina ay beinte anyos naming kapitbahay, maagang nag-asawa, maagang nasuong sa hirap ng buhay

I’ve climbed mountains
only to tumble back down
Dusting myself off,
I climbed on up again

I’ve crossed bridges in life
that threatened to fall
Defying my deepest fears
I conquered it all

I’ve knocked on doors
that have yet to open
my knuckles worn,
I’m still knocking

I’ve battled through life
fighting for what I believe
standing up for my self,
I tell you, it wasn’t easy

I’ve been slapped in the face
stomped and beaten down
challenged, tortured in pain
yet I never gave in

I’ve made mistakes in my past
something we all do
looking back, I’ve learned from them
and I’ve moved on

I remember my mother said
her only hope and prayer,
that I wouldn’t have to go through
nearly as much as what she had to

My child, this is my prayer for you

***—–pero madalas kahit na anong panalangin ng isang ina na hindi madaanan ng anak ang kanyang nadaanan….lalandasin at lalandasin niya ito para tulad ni inay, siya din ay matuto.—–***
