beyond the seas lie verdant palms
nourished by the tropical sun
growing up there, we lived our lives
in carefree days 'til we parted
almost three decades later
I learned of her untimely death
My sister, the oldest child, passed away last Sunday, May 18, 2008. As a younger brother who has not seen her since 1980, I offer her these poems of tribute. Rest in peace Ate Nena! I will always cherish your memory - a second mother, cheerful, fun, and bubbly with your sweet smile, and boy can you sing!
a hummingbird
loses its grip
of the falling leaf
just got the news
of my sister's death
hunting season
the wild bird sings
no more
