Para Kay Nanay

Treasure Your Mother

  The world is full of sons and daughters like you and me

  I had a marvellous mother, who loved me,
  Sacrificed for me and helped me in every way possible.

  In all of my growing up from childhood through
  School and eventually marriage,
  My mother was always at my side.

  And when I needed help with my little ones,
  She was there for me.
  A few years ago, we buried this wonderful woman.
  Can you imagine how I felt when I returned home and
  Found poem in her drawer written by my mom.

       The time is now

  If you are ever going to love
  Love me now while I can know
  The sweet and tender feelings
  Which from true affection flow

  Love me now while I am living
  Do not wait until I am gone
  And then have it chiselled in marble
  Sweet words on ice-cold stone

  If you have tender thoughts of me
  Please let me know now
  If you wait until I am sleeping
  There will be death between us
  And I will not hear you then

  So if you love me, even a little bit
  Let me know while I am living
  So that I can treasure it
