+ Memories Of Dan Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Memories of Dan


Everyday I am waiting for your call
That you may talk to me somehow
The venture from the four cornered wall
Who your life was molded your vow

Everyday I am standing near the window
That you may take a glimpse for me
And pause for a moment to hear words from you
Same desire to go and follow you maybe

Everyday I am passing from the door
Thinking you might be there and invite me in
To have a tea or anything you can offer
And talk about the things you’ve done before

Everyday I am hoping to be with you again
The strange man yet close friend I guess
I met you a year or more in a white cassock
At first don’t know who but looks like a priest

Everyday I am thinking of your entire endeavor
Rituals and prayer for the people here on earth
Communion of people coming from different culture
Hand in hand the family in one faith

Everyday I am trying to live your humble way
Were the commoners trust and ask to be bless
Love Him, taught them and live it day after day
To save soul a wonderful grace

Everyday I am wondering for what you call
Offering mass for God your highest gesture
And in the pulpit you have wisdom for us all
Simple teaching the congregation can hear

Everyday coming to the moment for me
To counsel my self because I don’t have the clue
Which image that I like to portray
Or to live the life in priestly way

Everyday meditating-journey towards my self
From my feet to my knee I pray, Amen
Invoking thy name for priesthood vocation
To be of thee servant to be fisher of men

Everyday with you I know
My life will be of legacy of love and truth
Will not be as priest but offering my self just the same
Holiness I will live praising the God great Amen

Everyday I will remember the words you shared
Wisdom to live life balance and willing to care
Then your examples everyday be happy
A person of values walking in Gods presence
