TRIBUTE MY DEAR KABABAYAN, MARY WISMER
Melvin Banggollay

M-ary Wismer, is indeed a woman of virtue
whose noble mind inspired lot of us I know
For as she sung the rhythm of her life I saw
through her poems and song she drew
Upon everyone that she come to know,
Her words is truly guiding as it glow
wisdom of a poet that God had bestow
in her pen and tongue to inspire a fellow
like me who loved her more than she knew.

A - woman whose faith is truly great and strong
even tempest of life comes to her along
even illness that haunts her fate for so long
never had deter her will to serve all alone
The Mighty Father with her poems and songs
and had ever change her tender tone
of praising and serving God through her tunes
that enlightened so many souls in oblivion
for the pains and sorrows they took alone.

R - est in peace and farewell dear friend
who inspired me to write with my pen
tail of hope, scents of love for a brethren
spring of faith to our God in the heaven
Whom I offer my every words spoken
sharing the truth and light of a lost friend
to everyone that may not have seen
the tender loving heart of this woman
now in the abode of angels in heaven.

Y-ou may not know that I have loved you
with every poem I made and offered for you
but my heart bleads pain I can't subdue
when I read that you're gone in a meadow
where the angels with their wings bestow
eternal grace of heaven's peace to you
but I am consoled for I am sure that you
will be in the loving hands of the God I know
for you have fulfilled her will for you to do.

Heavenly Father of all mankind
Take my friend's soul in your garden
Forgive her shortcomings as a maiden
and give her your grace of salvation.
Blessed her family that she left behind
with good health and wealth of the heaven
but let her footprints be on the ground
that those who may have witnessed
the glory of her life shall come to know
that poet never dies, they will just rest in you.

All these I asked in the mighty name of
Jesus Christ, our savior, amen.
