The First Born

if there is anything special about today

it is this....

once upon a time

at the break of the sirens' wail

signaling midnight in the lowly town of Bacnotan

a girl was born to highly expectant parents

it was 21 February 1971

the apple of their eyes

the solitary flower in the garden

the answer to their prayer

she grew-up

and became her parents' sole bundle of joy

a source of tremendous inspiration

a spring of new life

then two more came

to complete the cast

nevertheless she would always be

the first born

the ate to everyone

until now

she is the source of inspiration

she is the spring of new life

a true beauty personified

the light

the jewel

the gem

the soul

the love

and everything

Pintig ng Puso

magpahinga at manahimik
kahit isang saglit
maghuminahon mata ay ipikit
pagkat ang puso ko'y
di kalayuang pumipintig
pagkat ang puso ko
ay nariyan lang
sa yong dibdib

my ever dearest Jing
my forever
my soul
my everything
