Marites C. Cayetano Poems

I hope you see
Though we are of different colors
We are both beautiful.
...

The fruits on your table
the sweat of the farmer
as you smile on their sweetness
the farmer counts
...

Don't walk too fast
'cause I might be left behind
don't walk too slow either
'cause you might be left behind.
...

Forgive me my love
I cannot offer you
the moon and the stars
or even a rainbow
...

There's nothing you can do
you were created to walk forward.

You can stop there for a while
...

Have you been there
in the castle of dream?

I've been there
...

You make me smile
you ease my pain
you give me strength
you give me hope
...

Life is just like that
sometimes happy
sometimes sad
sometimes funny
...

The night
before your graduation
making curry
with tears in my eyes
...
