There is a teacher in every great mother

She is the sun that guides me everyday,

the only person who embraced me all the way

She is the one who makes me laugh,

and having her is just more than enough.

She cheers me up when I am sad,

and makes me happy that is why I am glad

She is ... my mother,

my hero and my first teacher.

She served as a good parent,

and I am thankful that she is pure and lenient

She greatly deserves to be recognized,

for she neither quit nor mind her countless sacrifice.

She taught me some of life's greatest lessons,

and molded me as a person

She is a catalyst in shaping our society,

for it is one of her vows and duties.

She sacrificed her leisure,

to provide us a better future

And if there is one thing I idolize about her,

that is her passion as a mother and as a teacher.

She gave up a lot in her life,

continued believing until she survived

For helping is her joy and passion,

and I have nothing but sincere appreciation.

She gave everything,

but never did she ask for something

She is my mother, my mentor - a great catalyst of eternity,

for she is the one who helps in bringing out the best in me.

Appreciation

When I was a young child,

things were just way too mild

I just used to daydream,

of what the future may seem.

There were times I used to think,

will all these things vanish in just a blink?

I continue to ask myself,

is there still a piece of light that was left?

As I grow up I see the world full of wonder,

as its beauty continues to unveil down under

But like all other things, all these lies,

will one day kiss a bitter-sweet goodbye.

Steadfast

I am not certain if this is right,

but I just can't last a day without you by my side

Maybe I was just assuming,

that thing called 'love' is what I am feeling.

I can still remember that very instance,

when you first gave me your heart-melting glance

Your smile just suddenly sparkled in my eyes,

then my heart beat faster as I let myself fall into all these lies.

It is as if my world had stopped,

stopped like a clock that had never struck

For each word that you have said,

is like a gentle breeze that caressed me from toe to head.

And now I am sure that we belong together,

this very thing I will cherish forever

I will love you in every day, in every way

Hoping that we will remain constant until our dying day.

P.S. I am not the author of this poem. Someone originally made it, and I just did few editing (with the author's consent, of course) Just felt the urge to post it so I did (^_^)

Unrequited (just a dream)

It is just a dream that I am with you,

but why it seems so true?

Seeing your gentle face makes me shiver,

feeling your presence trembles me over and over.

I hope I am always with you,

but oh, having an 'us' is way too far from what is true

How I wish that every moment is spent with you,

maybe it is possible yet still seems untrue.

You are up there,

but I am down here in the middle of nowhere

Just looking up to you while feeling the gentle wind blow,

while the time seems to move so slow.

Looking at you as this pumping organ shouts 'I love you',

wishing one day you will feel the same way too

But I wake up from this dream just to find out everything is an illusion,

because not even once, I am in your vision.

Often I wish for you to notice my presence,

but oh, you seemed alright without knowing my existence

I still continue to hope for you to notice me,

but it is just in a dream that I'll hear you utter one four three.

YOU

I want to be the star you look up to,

the one that will only shine just for you

But what can I do if my sparkle has been hidden beneath the cloudy sky?

with the thought that after countless years I will just bid goodbye.

You are not even aware of my existence,

but I am contented by just feeling your presence

Your eyes, your glimpse are not even for me,

but I am contented as long as you are happy.

Our paths may never cross again one day,

but it will never change my thing about you, not even a single day.

For years, you may have not noticed me,

but it is fine, as long as I see you smile as it brightens me.

To appreciate you is what I often do,

Can't even control my heart as it yearns for you and only you

You may have not found your inspiration in me,

but it is alright as long as you are happy.

When your days are blue,

I will be there for you

To make you smile in every single day,

to wipe your tears and move your worries away.

Ours is a distance as wide as the heaven and earth,

and we may have not known each other since birth

And though you were too blind to see,

That you are admired from afar by someone like me.

I want to shout this feeling out loud and proud,

but the words just cease to come out

Maybe 'dumb' is what I really am,

just can't help but stammer when you are around.

I badly want your eyes to see me and only me,

but that is too selfish so I want you to be free

There were times I used to ask myself,

"Is this right or am I being too pathetic?"

But in the end, the answer just comes out and I will realize,

that there is no one else but you who really caught my eyes.

I am not certain if this is right,

but one thing is for sure and that is, I can't last a day without you at my sight.

Light throughout the darkness

Here comes another twilight,

again finding myself full of fright

The stars seemingly look down at me,

while asking what will I be.

The day is in its end,

sadly too short for me to spend

Seeing the stars scintillating, oh so bright

and the moon that looks so dashing with its mesmerizing light.

Where will I find the missing piece?

for this pain inside to ease

It feels like I against the world,

Have nothing to lean on nor no one to hold.

Amidst the night, so quiet and so dark,

Solely searching for the light and its spark

Seeking and longing for a new hope,

beyond the struggles for  me to cope.

Facing life's adversity,

Believing there is something more within me

Thinking of every single day as a new chapter,

while hoping that behind every tear there is always a laughter.

The burning hope

The colors that my life once had,

just went different and then I'm sad

The sun that once lighted my way,

in just a heartbeat, had easily gone away.

Facing tons of life's adversities,

Overcoming loads of seemingly endless difficulties

but challenges make me human,

and experiences make me be the best that I can.

Numerous uncertainties may arrive,

yet with hope, I can still survive

I may sometimes make the wrong choice,

but I believe, He'll always listen to my powerful voice.

Though that gentle sunshine was taken away from me,

there are still millions of reasons to be happy

To be genuinely alive is my greatest desire

Hoping the worlds will help me and they will conspire.

Countless struggles I may face,

but I must not quit to finish the race

And one day, all the hopes that I continuously feel,

will heal the pain so I can stand still.

Though the road seems uncertain or dark,

and my world seems falling apart

There is still a piece of hope; my indestructible armor,

and a prayer that can be my greatest savior.
