Oh love is like a TONLE,
It marches endlessly;
It braves all rocks and valleys
Until it finds its sea.
Yes love is like a RIVER,
It flows with dignity;
It feeds all those who come ashore
And cares for eternity.
My love is like a river,
Its goal is one and true;
My heart shall e’er be restless
Until it reaches you.

There is a day of hearts
When lovers often dream
Of those they love so dear,
Who cause their hearts to cheer.
That day, they give the best they have
To those they came to love;
They promise them the grandest things
And all the stars above.
There is a day of hearts
When people often say
To those they love so dear
“I love you” without fear.
That day, they say it with flowers,
Or with sweetest greeting rhymes;
They promise them sincerest love
And care a hundred times.
There is a day of hearts
When I would often dream
Of you, my love, my dear,
You who cause my heart to cheer.
Today, I give the best I have
To you my only love,
And boldly say a million times
“To me, you are beloved.”

MUST GOD?
1.
Must God forever hide Eternity in eternity
And leave
me seeking His perfect will
everytime, everyday?
Too many roads to choose from.
Where must I go?
What must I be?
He Whom I trust
will lead
and guide me.
The Lord knows the way.
2.
Must God forever keep perfect love in His heart?
And let suffering engulf and threaten me
day in, day
out?
Too many storms
to face and weather.
They tear my hope apart.
His Word is true:
God is love.
There's nothing
to worry about.
Thank you very much, Pids!
Love Is Like A Rose
Love is gentle like a rose,
So delicate and graceful;
Its thorns will not prick the hearts
Of those sincere and truthful.
Love is precious like a rose;
Its joys are endless and rare.
It grows in unselfish hearts
Watered with concern and care.
Love is like a blooming rose
When it is desired and yearned.
It shares its love willingly
And blushes when love's returned.

Pids wrote this one for his wife.
.
"Kaibigan?"
Kahapon lang kausap ka,
Nasulyapan, natitigan.
Ngayo'y ako'y nagtataka
.
Bakit ika'y nais masdan.
Malimit nasa isipan,
Napapangarap sa tuwina.
Ikaw ba'y kaibigan lang,
O minamahal na sinta?
"Life Is Simple"
Life is simple for the poor.
They work, they eat, and go to sleep
To forget the promises they have to keep.
Life is simple for the poor.
Life is simple for the rich.
They stroll, they dine, and strive to go to sleep
To elude the promises they have to keep
Life is simple for the rich.
"Love In Autumn"
Love does not fall in Autumn
When leaves kiss the ground;
It holds on to hearts sincere
And blooms all year round.
Love does not frown in Autumn
Though the Sun hides in gloom;
It beams with joy and gladness
And warms every room.
