Ika-Apat

I WAS THERE

I was there when you started to speak

I was there when you got your first tooth

I was there when you cry at your first day at school

I was there when you graduated in Elementary

I was there when you are down because of heartbreak

I was there when you fall in love again

I was there in your wedding day

I wasn't there when you make your own family

You weren't there when I can't walk because of Arthritis

You weren't there when I got sick

You weren't there when my hair turns to white

You weren't there when I got hospitalized because of my illness

You weren't there when I give up and close my eyes

You weren't there when my heartbeat stopped

I was there when you buried my cold body and cried for your Mother's life
