I thought the world is big
That it has boundless space
For me to live and play

I thought the landscape is free
Where adventures abound
For me to live and play

I thought life here is secure
And opportunities are great
For me to live and play

Yet, the reality entails:

The world is smaller
That people congest
Where I struggle to survive

The land is much to pay
Citizens becoming foreign
Where I struggle to survive

And life itself in danger
Threaten to succumb to death
Where I live and destine to die

We are mortals
as human beings
you and I shall expire
time of the inevitable end

But what if you and I knew
as our doctors warn us anew
that we shall go within a month
to leave this existence that we hold

And what about the agony
that each our family shall feel
about our eventual death to come
couldn't it more painful than our fate?

Ah, nobody really knows
till the time of passing comes
for you and I should accept the fact
that everyone else is dying in due time

Love at first sight
is kinda seeing the love
when beauty strikes the eye
kindles the external attraction

Love at first site
is kinda finding the love
in a special place unexpected
kindles the the sweet moment

Love at first kiss
is kinda sensing the love
sensuous touch that tingles
the nerve of the body and soul

Love at first hug
is kinda feeling the love
that expresses romantic emotion
in a mutual bearing of dual respect

Alas, whatever ways love is found
its degree highly depends on spark
on how one feels the towards another
for love is an instinctive romantic thing

Love is true
if it cannot die
when all are gone

Love is true
amid all difficulties
for the only beloved

When love is true
it sings when in pain
to soothe the aching heart

Yes, love is true
it lingers beyond
even in death

Today is a significant moment
Ever occurred to your dedicated career
Reaping all the rewards of commitment
Every deserving professional like you
Setting as a role model for the neophytes
In exemplifying capabilities and kindheartedness
Towards accomplishing  the mission and vision
As what SPMC  has envisioned for excellent service.

Rest assured that we shall all be vigilant
Ensuring to perform our work with proficiency
Being well-trained medical technologist like you
Until the day when our time to retire will come
Leaving a legacy of excellent service to SPMC
Dedication, competence and innate compassion
All identical virtues to best merit that you have shown
Describe your personality that is worthy to emulate.

Unable to see people smile back because I do not give a smile.
nobody ever cheers me because I do not extend cheer to anyone.
can not receive an appreciation because I do not like to appreciate.
often being ridiculed by others because I often ridicule most of them.
no one helps me in my failures because I do not bother to extend help.
trouble always gets in me because I often cause troubles to most people.
emptiness fills my heart because I do not intent or open to become happy.
none becomes my best friend because I do not stand by anyone at all.
the people are ungrateful to me because I do not learn to be grateful.
everyone seems rude to me because I myself acts rude to anyone.
day after day nobody cares for me because I do not care either.

Whether best or not
A poet is now on top
Is not worth the place
If its purpose is for race

Whether best or not
My poem is posted hot
Is not the type of accolade
I aspire to own which will fade

Whether best or not
I get most commented slot
For me what matter is the fact
My sanity and sentiments are tact

As having an innate instinctive urge
To write intuitive thoughts that surge
From the core of my candid innermost
A fulfillment... that I think counts the most
