EIGHT DAYS HAVE PASSED
"Give thanks to the Lord our God and King
His love endures forever
For He is good, He is above all things
His love endures forever"
----------------------------------------------------
Eight days have passed since year 2016 began Father God,
I welcomed this year with beaming smile and hope
for a better, happier year to accept Your revelations
and heartily with arms wide open set forth to live.
Last year has been a big surprise Father God
but wow, You always overwhelm me when You answer my prayer.
Trials, disappointments and failures thud! thud! thud!
They came too, battling with me, weakening my nerves
that there are times, I am again asking why...
I am again asking when is the ending because I'm all tired.
Despite such times, I know, I believe and I continued
to never ever forget to say thank You.
I may have lost some opportunities
but I thank You, You gave me this time to be with my family.
Seeing my parents laughing and crying
while they hold the first baby of our family, priceless.
I admit, I miss these times for in my memory
there's not such pictures or moments I recall.
Thank You because after long long time,
I celebrated my birthday with my love ones complete.
I thank You that You gave me those times
to finally speak out those buried heartaches
that openned the door for better relation...
It has not been easy because I even leave home
just for things to cool down and let them all realize.
Over that period, I thought I will be alone
but no... You Father God sent a gift to me,
since July 2014, what we have has grown to more and more.
You know Father God how I yearn to have somebody by my side,
someone stronger, wittier, funnier, better than I am
and my being is overjoyed that You gave me a person
far greater than I even wished, even dreamt and prayed for.
I thank You Father God that You are making it happen for me,
I do believe that there is so much more You have stored for me,
I am relieved to let go of 2015 with a determined heart
and receive the New year with positivity...
With Your strength and wisdom that empowers me,
I know anything that may come
I can stand through and be victorious
as You are with me, seeing me through since I was born.
I hold on to Your promises Oh Father God
and the fulfillment of the everything You have started in me.
Faithful, merciful and loving that is You,
I say with all I am that I love you and I thank You.
Forever, I will declare and spread Your goodness in my life.
Forever, I will utter my gratitude that You blessed me then and now.
Forever to You is the highest praise, glory and honor.
F-o-r-e-v-e-r!
