Goodbye! Goodbye!
and so I bid,
Silent Farewells; as tears I hid,
behind myself; accede to die.
As you lie unconscious,
In all your might you sleep.
I sit beside you two, ruminating deep:
"My life without you; how monotonous."
Then gather the bits that remained intact,
to press my lips against your cheeks.
Without you knowing all of these,
I will forever bury this poignant fact.
Now I leave to do the things,
I need to do as I turn my back...
on you my dear brothers,
one thing I promise.
i will be back.

This is a poem I wrote as I was on the way back to Manila for school purposes... Above everything else, I will miss my two boys that I left behind and so I dedicate this poem to them.
