Through all my life and many years,
   as sin in life I trod;
You bent your knees to pray and beg,
   I'd turn my life to God!

You raised me right and showed the way,
   to God, the narrow path;
Yet as I ran the other way,
   you prayed He'd spare His wrath!

You never judged, but stood by me,
   for all those sin-filled years;
You always showed your love for me,
   yet silently shed tears!

Now as you know, I've given all,
   my life to His control;
I thank My Lord for second chance,
   since once I let Him go.

He's shown me how to live again,
   He's given life anew;
He watched 'ore me and led my way,
   in life He's seen me through!

Those times I know I let you down,
   you never let it show;
It's since you fought SO hard for me,
   the Devil let me go!

Thanks to the prayers you knelt and prayed,
   my Lord has set me free;
And though I ran so hard from God,
   through all, you stood by me!
I wrote this for my to beloved wonderful Christian parents whom have stood by me and prayed so hard for me for so many years as I ran from God.

One of the most beautiful moments of my life
is when I witness
Tatay, in one corner
silently,
reading his Bible.
Nanay, on the other side of her world
silently,
meditating His Word.

Oh, such a beautiful moment of my life
when I witness
Tatay, in one corner
solemnly,
head bowed in prayer.
Nanay, on the other side of her world
solemnly,
hands folded in prayer.
Thanking God for godly parents. May not be prefect but definitely a blessing. Tatay and Nanay is Winaray for Father and Mother.
