A seemingly unnoticeable being that
wanders around
This chaotic world -- that's full of doubts,
fears, and everything beyond
Comparison; that nestles our lives from
the very beginning --
Possesses the name Ma. Marjory Say --
the truth, the love, the meaning --
The completion of I.
But then again, I started believing
in this magical and cyclical feeling
That explodes from the bosom's core
of every human being
Who at first, disregards and knows nothing
about the specimen they now adore
About that someone who is nigh,
but, with the absence of lore
Disappears in the blink of an eye.
Everytime I try to glance at Her,
I receive a non-hypocritical smile
Bringing joy and warmness to this
cardiovascular organ of mine
Is this non-paradigmatic Eve that
makes me feel fine
I cannot hide, likewise, I cannot lie
for SHE is only thine
And, will never again, pass by.
Either I expect for the least or I
think for the positive --
Which motivates a creature to
continually live
With all the strength that it can give --
I can get what I want
Undoubtedly whole; and, confident was I
to emerge victorious and triumphant
"Change is constant." My battlecry.
What triggers me to wake up every morning
without a frown in my face
Is this simple lady -- Ma. Marjory Say --
whom no living entity could ever replaced
My inspiration to proceed with everything;
my inspiration to stop at nothing
