We Sometimes Wish, But Fails on an Easy Road to Happiness

Tila pumayapa ang hangin
dahil sa iyong lambing.
Gumaan na ang paghinga’t
humina na ang pagdaing.
Nagising sa bangungot na
puno ng alalahanin.
Nagkulay sa mundo kong
mag-isang kailangang tawirin.

Nasasabik
sa bawat paglubog ng araw.
Dahil pagpikit lang ang lunas
sa pusong namamanglaw.
Gigising man na lungkot
ang nangingibabaw.
Tiwala pa ring may pag-asa
na sa’tin ay dadalaw.

Sinusukuan ko nang sumuko
para masabing nagpapatuloy.
Tiwala lang na nagsusumamo,
na giginhawa din ang pagdaloy.
Pagod, pero nakataas-noo
namang tatamasahin
ang mga biyayang isasaboy.

Iniwan ang nakasanayan
para baguhin ang kahapon.
Umaasang matatakasan
ang panghuhusga’t panghahamon.
Pagpipilitang masabayan,
ang masasakit na desisyon.
Bulag man sa kahihinatnan,
buo naman ang tiwala sa …

I need You, Lord,
remove these fears
so that I can feel a little better.
For I don’t want to
live in tears
thinking of excuses to tell later.

Dye your heart with happiness
by making other people smile.
A sweet stroke of kindness
that will lull you to sleep at night.

Stuck in a cycle
that mostly leads
to failures and resets.
I’m a burning candle
that gathers hope,
from faith and good intent.

Be humble
to appreciate all the blessings.
Breathe in the sweet gratitude
that eases breathing.

We all should grow with
mistakes and failure.
For what was easily obtained
can be boring.
Great stories come from
those who endure.
And what we overcome
brings us closer to our true calling.

May this be the start
of our prosperous and
happiest season.
Embrace September
with warmth and affection.

The world seems unreachable
no matter how far I stretch my arm.
Like plowing a life riddled
by continues why’s and confusing hows.

But you made things bearable,
through your warmth
and empowering smiles.

When I’m sad,
the sun will shine brighter.
When I’m cold,
the moon radiates bigger.
When lost,
the stars draw a pattern.

So that I can keep up with my dreams
and give back
what the world has…

Those who can't listen
to our yell
are too busy
with their own struggles.
True friends who come
to our whispers
are angels
who helps and bring free liquor.

Let’s be transparent
about all our shortcomings.
And just concentrate
on what will keep us going.

Take a break,
and heed the heart
that isn’t willing to persist.
Trust yourself,
for we’re stronger
without insecurities.
Don’t lose hope,
as we are all
gifted with opportunities.
