Rest Thy Head Poem by Walter Sanson Lotilla

Rest thy head, rest thy head well...
... For thou hast suffered long torment in thy impairment
From the distant past, thou hast constantly braved
and toiled the unbeknownst
... thy hast rested thy head in many far away places
...in thine imperfection, thou hast toiled and shared thy life’s yields
..... though in constant search.. yet found no path in the earth’s gold
...Thou often found solace in the laughter and roars of the Bacchanalian cries
..... most often finding only riddles... alas, with tears ...


Rest thy head, rest thy head well...
Tranquility in permanence beckons
... flow peacefully amongst the sweetness of the dirge
... the wheels of corporal time whirls no more in salute of the true life
... thy life’s purpose has been served... as willed and taken back by the Creator

Journey on...
... to the true and eternal portal
... to a peace thou truly deserved
... as a child again in the Kingdom

Rest thy head, rest thy head well Papa...
... we bid you adieu ... in love... in prayers... in tears...
Thy destiny... we thank for our generation

Pa-alam po, pa-alam po... Papa ...
