Gamson Jr Mawallil Quijano Poems
You are like rain that Allah sends to gently bathe the land
Quenched, droughty soil as you fall upon them softens
...
With much trepidation,
I dread cats most especially kittens!
But my heart and thoughts are with them
In fact, to see them hurt or neglected
...
Astonishing people they are surely
With the sea, they play merrily!
For an extended period
underwater, they stay calmly
...
The Middle East's Sand
Fine, wee, untold, so beneath
Yet fly high with wind
Blankets sky, clouds, and buildings Invade human lungs and eyes!
...
Cocaine, shabu, XTC
Marijuana and rugby
Would travel you to heaven
Then overthrow you to hell
...
So soon, you'll be here
To reach you, I always pray
My mind, heart, and soul
Exhilarated!
...
Nostalgia engulfs my heart whenever I suddenly miss all those folks and loved-ones
who have long ago died before me.
Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun.
...
Her hand raised a little when she saw me
In her wan lips, something she'd like to say
Oh, how sad, her condition impedes her from speaking!
But her eyesight and hearing are fine
...
So to ease heavy thoughts in my head
Restful sleep is all that I need
The moment I lay on my bed
I abhor dreams coz it only shallows my sleep
...
An old, frail, sad world
Yearning for PEACE, LOVE, and JOY
Tired of miseries!
...
Sweet and caring words
Can no longer be heard, felt
By the dead loved ones
While alive, kicking
...
Even the night is weeping
To lessen its excruciating pain
Cry it out until your woebegone
be gone
...
As I walk straight forward,
My head keeps turning back
To glance at my companions
who walk behind sluggishly
...
No family is perfect
everyone has their defect
When there's a shortcoming
be more understanding
...
Sweet rose, thorny stems
Lover's Endearment's emblem
My true love's simile
...
Alienated from family for decades
Neither hi, hello nor to peek from shadows
Behind bars sunrise, sunset, and boisterous waves
At least can be seen, heard than falling leaves
...
I
Dayng ha düwm pa ma adlaw
In manis mu sangat-dayaw
Misan hawnu makapanaw
...
Palestine! Palestine!
Rivers of tears will soon be drained
May your liberty reign
Your greatness shall return!
...

The Best Poem Of Gamson Jr Mawallil Quijano
I Thank You, O Qatar!
You are like rain that Allah sends to gently bathe the land
Quenched, droughty soil as you fall upon them softens
Through your lovely touch, many throne plants flourished
Its nourishing fruits by so many have been reaped
Plentiful flowers upon your blessed bosom have blossomed beautifully
Elated, butterflies on your splendid hued petals frolic, flit to play
Your ambiance is a solace to those who feel blue
From sunrise to sunset, amidst darkest skies,
secured and safe we feel
wherever we are around you
Never have we ever felt neglected
cause you made us feel you truly care
You do your best to look after us the best you can,
that sometimes it's even GRATIS whenever we get ill
When Covid-19 hugged the world
making us anxious and frightened,
you stood up for us the way a mother does
for her family so dear
You even assured us things are
under control
that we would be safe despite
pandemic threat hovering
Though we are not your own born children
Yet it's inside your generous home
where we found our second home
away from home!
You made us feel that we have a mother
who unconditionally loves and cares for us
even if from our cherished family
we are miles away forlorn
Fervently to Allah I beseech
to preserve you,
continue to bestow happiness
and prosperity upon you!
That may you be a source
of inspiration and strength
for all humanity!
Indeed, you're so thoughtful and rare
So how can I not love you
and be ever grateful
to Allah for thee?
Thus, Alhamdu Lillah,
I thank thee, O our Qatar!
Thou shine and glisten upon us all
amazingly like the moon and stars
amidst the darkest skies!

Gamson Jr Mawallil Quijano Quotes
"Had I been just in control of everything, I would surely do all the things that make my heart happy. But, there are things that are beyond my command and only Allaah has the sole control of it. Thus, I must leave it to Him and trust His wisdom in whatever His decisions are."
"When we create plans for our lives, we thought it's already the best for us. But, sometimes out of Allaah's mercy and wisdom, He replaces it with something that's truly best for us. He has always perfect plans for us. Let's surrender and submit everything to Him."
"Some people are only experts when denouncing negativity but don't know how to commend positivity."
