Dear Mom,
I wanted to write a poem for you. I guess I am not that gifted enough to create something like that. I couldn’t even think of the words that I could use to rhyme with the idea in my mind, so I guess the next best thing to do is write.
It was almost 33 years ago, you were in Luneta, it was one of those holidays the people used to celebrate, and while you were strolling I felt the need to go out into this world. So on that fateful day were Filipinos used to celebrate the imposition of Proclamation No. 1081, I left your womb to enter this world, unknowing what purpose that I would carry out in the future. You named me Donnie. Short, suave, smart since I don’t have the patience to write long articles, and it also sounds boyish, which makes up my personality as a whole, attesting to the childish attitude that occur sometimes.
I still remember the first writing notebook you bought me. It brought excitement that I could not contain. And since I learned fast, I was eager to show my stuff in school. Although with so many mischievous deeds done inside the classroom, I could have made it to the top of my class. Although at times you were disappointed I was not the one lording it over the academic rankings posted on the board, I am happy and contented since you never pressured me to be the best. You have been so understanding in what I have achieved.
You have also protected me, especially that dreadful day I was beaten up by that bully teener who was intimidated by my insults while playing with my friends. I could never forget that day, since I was crying the whole time while my classmates couldn’t do anything, since that idiot was bigger and probably 5 to 7 years senior to us. You have always assured me that everything is ok no matter what.
You accompanied me while enrolling in my new school after graduating from elementary. You told me I would enjoy, never let me be distracted by what my other cousins have told me about how strict that school was, were no sane relative has ever gone to study. It has always been you who was beside me during those faltering years of my adolescence, where I have almost succumbed to peer pressures, yet you have always welcomed my friends with open heart, trying to understand that we were all teenagers who are confused during those stages. You never complained openly even if my friends, including
My 16th birthday was the loneliest celebration for me. You decided to leave and seek greener pastures. On the exact day I turned 16, you flew to
Through the years I have always missed you. And through the years I have always wondered what life would be, without you by my side during my learning days. Whatever I have learned in life I owe it a lot to you. You are the best mentor I had. You are the best I ever had.
And with all that I have said earlier, I just wanted to say…
THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU!

Para wala tayong pagsisihan sa bandang huli ;)
hahahaha! di ako nanuod nun. :D
ReplyDeleteIts nice of you to show us how you love your mom, it is good that you tell them. for everybody who reads this, dont be scared or afraid to tell your parents how much they mean to you, even if you feel that they are the worst or the strictest, they mean well...it would be better to tell them you care and how much you love them when they are still here with us, and it would be a burden for you if you dont get to say how you feel when they leave....
ReplyDeletesalamat guy! :-)
ReplyDeletetouching! *punas-luha*
ReplyDeleteyour mom must be so proud of you! You'll be blessed cause you know how to pay respect to your mom.
Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers! :D
naiinis ako.. bakit hindi ko magawan ng ganyang letter ang mama ko?
ReplyDeletesya na rin kasi ang nagsabi na kung gagawa ako ng letter.. kung pwede tagalog na lang daw..
hihihi...
ang galing mo duni.. saludo ako sayo..!
:)
hindi kasi ako makagawa ng POEM...
ReplyDeletenaka mental block ako ngayon :((
wow,na touch naman ako dun.
ReplyDelete*sob sob sob
akala ko naiyak sa piktyur ko eh =))
ReplyDeleted naman kakaiyak piktyur mo du!
ReplyDeleteso adorable k nga e,parang walang kamuwang -muwang sa mundo ang fez;))
ano kinain mo dito du,bat parang busog n busog k at nakahawak k p sa tiyan mo:P
hindi ko alam...
ReplyDeletebasta nasa galaan hindi ko na alam kung anu-ano pinagkakain ko... :-P
kakaiyak nmn..:(( i grew up in a family na di uso ang magpakita ng emosyon...di kami nasanay na ipakita kung anong nararamdaman nmin.....
ReplyDeletewhen i was a child bihira lang nmin makasama ang tatay ko dahil parati siyang nasa maynila.(tga probinsya kmi noon)...he was a stranged father to us...marami din siyang babae noon...di rin siya nagppdala ng sustento nmin... my mom raised us na mag-isa niya lang...dami niyang hirap na piangdaanan sa tatay ko...daming sama ng loob ang dinibdib niya...nagpaka-alila siya sa ibang bansa pra lng mapag-aral ako while my father's bz with his kabit..
for 26 years of my life i cannot remember if i ever said "thank you" and "i love you" to my mom... hopefully this mother's day i will have the courage to hug her and say "iloveyou mama and thanks for everything"
yan din ang purpose ma'am echo...
ReplyDeletekahit hindi uso ung magpakita ng emosyon... siguro kahit simpleng thank you at i love you hindi naman mahirap gawin... kahit walang matinding regalo o mamahaling pagkakagastusan... kung kapos sa budget at talagang hindi kayang i selebreyt... pwede naman idaan sa simpleng sulat o card o kahit anong pagbati... ang mahalaga nagpupugay tayo sa ating Ina na ibinigay sa atin ng itaas para maging gabay sa lahat ng oras at pagkakataon...
****ESTRANGED FATHER pla**** sorry typo error :)) tao lang po
ReplyDeleteaw, ang sweet...naiyak ako dun a...sana mging katulad mo rin ang anak ko , if ever i seek for greener pastures..hehehe
ReplyDeletemanyak ako bwahahaha...
