To My Son, JM
You have grown to be
A wonderful man to see
The praises I hear from others
Makes me proud to be your mother.
You are understanding
Never demanding
You have a good heart
You’re honest and true.
You have given me delight
As you grow in my sight
Little steps you slowly took
Brings you sure to your nook.
Now, my wishes for you
Many things to laugh
Real good friends to chat
And more dreams to catch.
Happy birthday!

Joshua Miguel (resembles God)
He is the first
To feel our love and bliss
Loving, caring and polite
Always makes your day bright.
Kevin Bryan (dignified and strong)
He's the middle child
Smart and funny inside
Keeps the family intact
With his charming act.
Peter Benjamin (son of my strength)
The youngest of them all
Sweet and adorable you can call
His cry makes you strong
His laughter makes you whole.
They are my treasure
My greatest gifts for sure
My pride, my joy
And I love them all!


For the gift of family
You gave so dearly
Joy and charity I learned quickly
Thank you, Oh my God!
For giving me friends
Which for me are great finds
Genuine goodness, I easily can send
Thank you, Oh my God!
For having to put people in my care
Lets me brush away my scare
Patience and kindness I gladly can share
Thank you, Oh my God!
For letting me undergo that great fall
Made me renew my faith to all
And bravely come back and stand tall
Thank you, Oh my God!
For whatever and however
I live my life ever
You will forever be nearer
Because You are my Father
For these, Oh my God, I thank you!


When you need a hand
To help you through
When you need an ear
To listen to you
I'm here, just here.
If you're lost and confused
And needed someone to guide you
If you're sad and feeling blue
And wanted to try something new
I'll be here...for you.
When you're not so sure
And you need confirmation
When you are hesitant
And you need a push
I'm here, I'm here.
Sometime you're just too tired
And you need some support
Sometimes you just can't go on
And you need one who can continue for you
I'll be here...more than willing.
When you are so inspired
And you want to talk about it
When you are so happy
You want to celebrate
I'm here. . . always here.

To be so strong that nothing can disturb
your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too
strong for fear, and too happy to permit the
presence of trouble.
