On the day you were forty-nine
This was a somewhat rushed piece of literature for my mother's 50th birthday. Hate to admit, we weren't able to prepare much for her birthday. She has done most of it.
On the day you were forty-nine
One thing never came into mind
That you would face this new year
With migraines and some shedding of tears
Twenty seven days later,
Our house was almost in shatters
It's my first to see you cry so bitterly
Asking God, "Why did it happen so suddenly?"
But you were strong, Mama
And God was always with you
Though you faced even more trauma
You were never abandoned, it's true
When I cried because of thesis
You answered me with a warm embrace
I knew that you're facing a harsher crisis
Yet you're still open to be a safe place
You came home tired and stressed
Asking us for a massage and then be at rest
Yet, we admit that sometimes we're too lazy
And we closed our bedroom door, and for that we're sorry
Now that you are at your golden
(I really didn't think you would reach this moment)
You'll always be the same caring Mama
And I know deeply this is your forever persona

Lord, I...
Lord, I confess
That I held my own world
In the palm of my hands
Trading what You gave me
With the stew of the earth
Forgetting that I am one
Whom You have caused new birth
Lord, I admit
That I took You advantage
Chasing tomorrow with anxiety
Though You sang to me
Your unrelenting don't-worry's
Lord, I forget
That You encompass good
Declaring clean what has been scarlet
As only You could
A smoldering wick that I have become
Was not reason for You
To tear me off of Your freedom
Lord, I marvel
At Your ocean-covering grace
Patience, perpetual.
You met me at my desert
That felt like nothing but endless sand
Gravitating in my hourglass
Lord, I will
Trust your Word for me to be still
Stay where I am while You tend me
As my Gardener
In the field of barren soil
That has yet to bear its fruit
Lord, I say
You are worthy of bended knees
Your compassion and mercy
Never will they cease
You pilot my way through
The wilderness anew
Yet your love, the unfailing same
Will never rob me in vain
