Mary Louise Mann Gabumpa Poems

Funny am I
How at this point of my life
That I'll ever see such as these
That people find it humorous
...

Sa kanindot, sa kaanyag
Ang gugma Mo'y
Mao'y dalangpanan
...

Christmas season, Christmas day
Christmas list of Christmas wish, ey!
Christmas gifts under Christmas tree
Christmas feasts to be shared, it's free!
...

It means nothing,
but I endear.
It is also frightening,
because I become susceptive.
...

To me it is a thought
A thought that came from the heart
The heart that lived a life
A life wherein we daily surrender
...

Teardrops fell from my eye
As I stood there
Watching the train leaves
As if leaving the miseries behind
...

I wish
I have a big heart
Just the same
A friend of mine wishes
...

God revealed of what I shall pray
and it warned me;
He revealed of what I must response
and it assured me.
...

Marriage and persecutions;
Temptations and decisions;
Life and family;
Needs, desires, and dreams.
...

I love You and i wanna stay with You
Help me stay, no matter what
Nowhere else I'd rather be-with You
Else id be empty inside, of what
...
