My birthday

surrounded
and overwhelmed with love
of family members
on my birthday
wish she's still here today

Mother's day

mulling beside
her empty chair
Mother's day

Death of a friend

no bees or butterflies hover
on her orchids garden
in the silence of this gloomy day
they also mourn the death
of their green-thumbed owner

Friend's Death

the swallows
failed to return
to Capistrano
my dear friend Marivie
joins her Creator

May you rest in peace! I will always treasure your memory. My love, thoughts and prayers to you, Grace, Dina and the family!
