Far Away
I guess it’s not easy at first
to experience adjustment
when one gets uprooted
like in any other country.
I first learned the language,
immersed in life experiences;
with cultural differences,
I came along to blend.
With my own companions
living together at home
that through prayers
I was able to deal with them.
Certainly, I miss my loved ones
in times that I’d be alone
like in my bed at night
where I’d utter ‘far away.’
Yet the grace of strength
to cope with homesickness
made me keep going
made me keep in the game.
Though leagues and latitudes
may be the distance from us
but the thought, the heart
enabled me to transcend them.
Because of love and affection,
I was able to make sacrifice;
it’s the meaning I wanted
to emerge in the horizon.
Though we’re far away,
I could see beyond so far,
those mem’ries of yesteryears –
a treasure-trove to understand.
I’d always say no matter what,
it’s still my love to sacrifice
for your sake oh my God!
the source of all my love.
So far away, it doesn’t matter,
as long as there’s love within
this would shape the future
a portrait of our revelation.
