Life Is A Gift -Author unknown

Life Is A Gift

Today before you think of saying an unkind word–
think of someone who can’t speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food–
think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife–
think of someone who is crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life–
think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children–
think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep–
think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive–
think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job–
think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another–
remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down–
put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.

Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, and Fulfill it.

You -TonemanTM

You

i kneel and bow down at Your greatness

asking humbly for Your help and forgiveness

no words can describe, my heart is so contrite

but i know Your love for me, is near

wounded and crawling, still i walk,

following, responding to Your undying call

indeed Your love is incomparable,

for Your faithful call i say yes and i humble

getting stronger and better every-time

for You are here all the time.

“TORPEDO” -TonemanTM

"Torpedo"

Umaga na! Gising na! awit ng Nanay

Almusal, kape, sa bulsa may tinapay

Pasakay! sabi ni manang, para! bulong ng dalaga

Sa pag-huni ng Sarao, bibirit ang makina

Sino si Gil Puyat? Tanong ng bata

Tahimik ng Baclaran, Miyerkules nga ata

Pedro Gil pagbayad ni doktora,

Saglit lang po Central na ata.

Sa byahe, ang buhay ay makulay

Matingkad, maingay, at puno ng malay

Minsan tahimik, umaawit at nakikinig

Diwa’y lumilipad, sa bintana’y nakatitig

Propesor, trabahador, estudyante, deboto,

Lahat pawang pasahero, sa byaheng torpedo

Salamat boss Eman, sa Iyong Payong

Ako’y lalarga na, iguguhit ang dapit hapon.

-TonemanTM

Merci mi redeeming -TonemanTM

Merci mi redeeming

12:27 dias, overloaded ideas

singing thoughts, writing happy oaths

drafting galaxies, metanoia doesn’t seize

coffee scented breeze, the night freezes

angels flying, mountains overlooking

mi Deus, merci for mi redeeming

still struggling, still  Your love always winning

whispering obras, listening to Your palabras

orchestra sailing, clinging to You mi King

vastness of universe, in Your scale

breathing life and hope, to Your people

our minute pressence, nothing to something

yet Your love for us, is everything

finding old writings for my Master Poet. -TonemanTM

all lost and gone,

13 years of dreams and vivid imagery, 

can't find, can't believe, still no comprende.

13 years after, no heard, no cry. 

just dust and empty shelves, 

sad songs and poems, still no encontrar.

glad and thankful still, 

not finding you still means no ill.

just old notes of writings and memoirs,

ready to walk and write the stars.

pencil strokes of lines and curves,

of creative dots and vibrant randomness.

staring blankly, 

but thinking noise and loudly

can't contain, can't say,

only sheets of  voices and whisper shades.

defining my ongoing progress and details 

to my Master Poet i say,

thanks, all gloria and praise, 

scribbling my cielo above, never stop

inspiring and igniting.
