Obed dela Cruz Poems

Misunderstandings sometimes come
When some words are misused.

Maybe, the word was over-used.

Write my friend, O write without vanity.
Let your writings make you and others smile

My friend, last year is gone but the nest years are long.
Forsake the hurts that entered when some things went wrong.
Leave behind the memories that tortured you so!
Let heavenly goodness be your friend, not your foe.
...

Towers and mega-structures may instantly fall
And priced commercial lands be left barren and dull.
But by having faith in God and a moving hand
We’ll rise and rebuild our world and still we shall stand.

Inside, HE wants man to have a horizon.
HE wants the sun to shine to every person.

And do you know that I always want you to draw nigh?
For always, with beauty and respect I look at you.
I hope and wish that you know that I can see you through.
...

Filled of gems and luxury.
Death does not exist.
Sickness, again won’t moist.

Stink was the smell of the atmosphere
And silent cries are all that you hear.
This typhoon brought heavy destruction
But there’s a sure hope for our nation.
...

(A Friend of mine asked me to write this for His Bride.)

Far from My enchanting voice you have wandered alone
While other singers and musicians play for your love,
...

(Imagine if God tells this to you)

When beauty was yet kept from the eyes of any man
And the masterpiece was yet a Breath of Life away,
...
