To My Mother Poem by Ma. Cristina Balsamo

Life for you has been full of ups and downs
Its intricacies never cease to follow you
Its complexities seemed to haunt you.

Yet, God said “You are precious in my sight…
And I love you.” He never leaves you!
In all your trials, He carries you through!

Day after day you fought the good fight of life
You stood firm on the grounds of uncertainty
But however unsure, it never held you to venture!

In the end, you have triumphantly conquered
For no matter what lies ahead, you never surrendered
And now your life’s story is a living testimony! That…

Amidst life’s mystic turmoil and entangling maze
There unfolds the bright horizon of hope and
The dawn of day is never far beyond what your heart
dearly holds…….(Oh! the price of it!)
