especially him 'coz he was my north, my south, my east and west... my working week and sunday rest... my noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; i thought that my love would last forever: i was wrong... and...
i can't forget him... or never forget him till the day i die... 'coz i've already built my life and my world around him... and please, forgive me, LORD for this 1...

i know that love is so painful sometimes... that when it is not really meant to be, i have to let it go and i would surely find a love that will last forever... but am not sure in my case 'coz i would like him to be my 1 and only love/man of my life till the last breath of my life... though, he was already gone and left me over this world, still i should need to stick by his/our memories forever for a reason...  

"it's not us who read minds,
 it's you who just mind!..."

  *at the foot of the CROSS*

fearing the battle was over
and i'd already lost the war,
i was tired of trying and failing.
i just couldn't fight anymore.

so, dragging my battle-scarred body,
i crawled to the foot of the CROSS.
and i sobbed. "oh please, FATHER forgive me.
but i tried... i tried... and still lost."

then the air grew silent around me.
i heard HIS voice just as clear as the dawn:
"oh, my child, though you are tired and weary,
you can't stop, you have to go on."

at the foot of the CROSS, where i met HIM,
at the foot of the CROSS, where HE died,
i felt love, as i knelt in HIS presence.
i felt hope, as i looked in HIS eyes.

then He gathered me lovingly to HIM,
as around us GOD's light clearly shone.
and together we walked through my lifetime
to heal every wound i had known.

i found bits of my dreams, long forgotten,
and pieces of my life on the floor.
but i watched as HE tenderly blessed them,
and my life was worth living once more.

i knew then why i had been losing.
i knew why i had not grown.
at the foot of the CROSS came the answer: i'd been fighting the battle alone.

at the foot of the CROSS, where i met HIM,
at the foot of the CROSS, where HE died,
then i knew i could face any challenge
together--just my LORD and i.



*a prayer of thanksgiving*

THANK YOU, DEAR FATHER
for all that YOU've done,
for sending our SAVIOR,
YOUR own precious SON,
who showed us the love
we should have for each other,
for all of our neighbors,
our kinsmen, our brother.

THANK YOU, DEAR JESUS
for taking our place,
revealing YOUR infinite
mercy and grace,
as YOU suffered and died
on CALVARY's tree,
redeeming the likes of
poor sinners like me.

THANK YOU, DEAR FATHER
for giving in love
YOUR SWEET HOLY SPIRIT
absent down from above,
to offer us comfort
in our times of sorrow,
delivering peace and
bright hope for tomorrow.

THANK YOU, DEAR LORD
for hearing our prayer,
for giving us strength
as our burdens YOU bear,
and forgiving our sins
confessed to YOU now;
we lay them before YOU
as humbly we bow.

THANK YOU, DEAR LORD
for YOUR gifts beyond measure,
and help us to use them
for YOUR greatest pleasure.
convict us, YOUR servants,
to serve others still,
with love and compassion
in YOUR perfect will.

for bountiful blessings, we thank YOU today,
as in the name of JESUS, we pray,
AMEN.
