thanks to Jury Magallanes, Robert and inday Montanez, Sis Edlyn Villalba for an emergency aid and encouragement
I was weak, paled, hungry
while queeing at blood bank
for Argee blood test result for confidential operation
I was about to collapse since I had sleepless night
from San Pedro hospital to DMC operating corner
The time was past 1 pm
Though my vision flashed no more
I could still saw the head of evry patient's watcher
passing along hospital lobby
waiting lounge, ICU, andt at right lane
heading to generic pharmacy
I saw sad circumtances and agony
I saw confusion doubt and love
I saw the lost, the pain, the biterness
I saw the bravery especially in emergency room section
I could have cried with each dyingheart
My sympathy
I found hardly difficult to accept this whole truth
Health life loved ones are more precious than
wealth and power
I had walked among with them
among the seeking eyes
among the agonizing hearts
withan empty wallet for doctor's prescriptions
among the charity and social welfare hopefuls
among the Philhealth and HMO cardholders
I had smell their frightened too
and understood their adrenalined tenses and boredoms
I had respected their unsual tighteness with their God
I reached carinderia below under passed corner
and kept eating for physical strenght renewal
I was so sure I would soon be free
out of this purposeful tragedy
Free as my fearless heart to marry
my fiance patient after her complete
speedy recovey
In my 30 years of married life, ths experience has alarmed me so much....a couple of experiences i should say.....but God is with us always...let's be always strong! ! ! !
wow it is a really good poem, for me it was a little hard to read, because I almost lost my granpa a couple of years ago, he had a hardatack, and my grandma had to have a canceres spot removed, so I know a little about that, it was really well writen,
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
well narrated kuya....pasabta sad ang mga la kasabot...la baya karenderia sa ilaha...you are right kuya...Health is better than the riches of this world!
