TOLERANCIA

-

 Buenos días soy Helen Sarita de Filipinas. I am honored to be invited to the second virtual international poetry event by ART for CHANGE for human values. Felicidades!! You have a brilliant platform to showcase international poets, and I am positive that this bridges our distance and will connect us towards our dreams of peace and unity worldwide. Mi gratitud a estas dos personas Juan Carlos Chavarría el Director de General of ART for CHANGE y Hermana Clara Sánchez  el gestor Literarion de Cultura


Aquí está mi poema por el valor de la tolerancia


Tolerance


A virtue of versatility and persistence

With a heart to embrace the difference

Wheresoever we are in this world, we vary

Ubiquitous, people have a distinctive way


There may be good and maybe unpleasant

Some are genuinely kind near or in a distant

Yet some are innately obnoxious, who rant

Which are challenging to interlace their brand


What can we do to make this world in peace?

What can a mere me contribute to this race?

I am a Filipina, brave, resilient yet imperfect

But my failures won't make my dreams quit


You can discriminate, belittle, or judge me

I have a tolerance for embracing what it may

Watch me swing like a versatile bamboo tree

To execute the spirit of peace and solidarity


Here I am raising the flag of the Philippines

We may be in agitation but full of optimism

We pray that we all have the outcomes of our efforts

We have tolerance as we have unselfish endeavors


Muchas gracias por ver y escuchar

SUBSTANCE OF LOVE

  SUBSTANCE OF LOVE On the misty eve of Christmas (2020), I smelled the excellent year of 2021, the year of prosperity. The year to get back to normal as everyone hopes, the year of greatness and power, implies all the experiences we had in 2020, full of challenges. The pandemic gives many twists to our life. Many failed on some plans because of the travel restrictions. Yet,  we can say we need to wait for God's perfect time. Just trust in Him. The pandemic protocols of various places make us dizzy, yet we have learned a lot to deal with it. I looked at it with a grain of salt. It's futile to complain about things aimed at the betterment of all.  When I am alone, I can't stop myself from pondering things that pop up in my mind.  It was not about the pandemic and the lockdown we experienced that prevented us from having business-related inter-island trips.    I was sitting in a little corner of my room, listening to the acoustic tune of my heart and trying to scribble its me

To the man whom my heart commits for life Intensely for decades, I've been here on your side Love that never withers as I devote myself till the end Love that lingers even though many times I was in pain Delve into my heart,  I cried a thousand tears Ethereal sensation is gasping its breath within Axiomatic blast of my tender pledge of love screams To  you who broke me the most, I sense your remorse Hail my heart, it has an outlandish strength to hold Did you find yourself in my heart still being held? Over those years happiness was what I always yielded. Unbothered by the tease of life I tried to be steadfast Sustained through faith I amassed strength to make this last Paving our way now to the inescapable calling of extinction Abloom by intense grip even pangs entwined our emotion Rest assured I will be here, I'll remain stalwart not to depart Two of us will keep our commitments, till death do us part
