I love you even on the day you don’t want…
to wake- up
to bother
to listen

I love you harder on the day you are not…

in the mood
feeling well
satisfied
I love you deeper in everyday when you feel…
lost
uncertain
alone
I will love you more on days you’re difficult to love
--gerald nichole l joson—

The reason I love to go home, you always cook my favorites

But now mother you’re gone; these foods, I really missed!

C ontinue on what you’ve started
C ome and stand even when you’re falling apart

S omeday you will stand and saying “ Success! I got it ! “

NANAY
by Crizelle A. Casita

To you who made me what I am today

Heed this little poem I’m about to say
A love, pure as the love you have given me
Neither time nor wealth can ever come to close to beat
Kisses in the morning and hugs at night

You are the only person

One day for sure, I’ll make you proud
Until then, please don’t give me up.

UP

I wear make up
Because I feel that it can
lift me up, but not everyone
cherishes it, I do not wear make up to
impress others, I do this to impress
myself, whatever that I am
I know that I will
Always be
