graduation day
his friends keep asking
for my missing son

Missing son

a shred of kite
flaps in the wind
their missing son

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!
