NURTURING GRACE IN CHALLENGING TIMES

Two women stand with dignity and grace.
Their faces are adorned with masks in these trying times,
Yet their spirits shine with a love that truly chimes.

Caregivers of the world, unsung heroes of our days,
Their dedication and compassion never cease to amaze.
They selflessly give their all to those in need,
Their tireless efforts an example for us to heed.

Through the moments of joy and the challenges they face,
Their strength and resilience never leave a trace.
They carry the weight of others with a gentle hand,
And in their care, a beacon of hope will always stand.

Their lives are a testament to the beauty of giving,
And in their nurturing embrace, we find the art of living.
So let us honor and cherish these caregivers so dear,
For in their love and devotion, the essence of life is clear.

Dear Ma’am Caraan Maligaya Concepcion and the teaching assistants … Thank you for helping me achieve one of my dreams.

DRIVE THE FUTURE

With every step we take, we march toward the unknown,
Embracing every opportunity, our skills and strengths we’ve honed.
Innovative thoughts spark change, as we contribute to the team,
Our determination unwavering, like a river’s constant stream.

Through trials and triumphs, we navigate this freshly trodden path,
Each hurdle overcome, is a victory that brings us strength.
In the pursuit of greatness, we find the courage to aspire,
To push beyond our limits, and reach for something higher.

The future lies before us, an undiscovered land,
We sculpt it with our efforts, in the work of our own hands.
Each day a chance to learn, as we grow and evolve,
In this new job, our hearts and minds revolve.

The drive to the future, propels us forward still,
With determination as our compass, we conquer every hill.
As we work toward greatness, building successes both big and small,
We embody the spirit of persistence, standing tall through it all.

HOME ACADEMY HCA CLASS

In lands far from home we strive to learn,
Migrant workers with dreams that burn,
Studying healthcare for the elderly’s care,
Our dedication and hard work we proudly share.

Through long hours of study and toil,
We chase our dreams with unwavering toil,
For a brighter future and a better way,
We march forward, day by day.

In scrubs and coats, we’ll make our mark,
Bridging cultures, leaving a spark,
For we are the dreamers, the ones who believe,
In achieving our goals, we will never deceive.

With resilience and hope, we pave the road,
To achieving our dreams, in healthcare’s abode,
Migrant workers, forging paths anew,
Our dreams we’ll achieve, and inspire others too.

A Mother’s Love

A mother’s love, so tender and true
Guiding her child as they start anew
Tiny hand in hers, small steps so unsure
But her love, constant and secure

As they walk to school on that special day
She whispers courage in every way
Her heart overflows with pride and love
As she watches her child reach for the sky above

Through tears and laughter, she’ll be there
A love unending, beyond compare
For in that moment, her love is found
In every step, in every sound

Guardians of Compassions

Image Source: Dear Ms. Kanageswari Ganesan and Ms. Mina Naa. They are the Staff nurses at West 8 Glenneagles Hospital.

In a hospital room, amidst the still of the night,
Two nurses stand by, their presence a guiding light.
With compassion in their eyes, and care in their hands,
They offer comfort and support, where uncertainty stands.

In the hush of the room, their kindness takes flight,
Bringing solace and warmth, dispelling all fright.
Their steady presence, a beacon of hope,
A lifeline for those who find it hard to cope.

Silent guardians, with hearts pure and true,
Their dedication and grace, a beautiful view.
In their gentle touch, healing is found,
Amidst the beeping monitors, and hospital sound.

With empathy and strength, they stand by your side,
In the face of adversity, they are your reliable guide.
So let’s honor these angels, with gratitude and cheer,
For their unwavering support, and love that’s sincere.

Purple Love

On this special day, in shades of purple we stand,
A group of women, walking hand in hand,
Down the walkway of love, towards our cherished vows,
In elegant grace, as the sun softly allows.

Each step we take, a symbol of unity and grace,
In flowing purple dresses, a picture of charm and grace,
We walk towards our future, with hearts full of love,
On this beautiful day, blessed from above.

So here’s a poem, crafted just for you,
A picture of love, on our wedding day so true,
In purple we stand, a symbol of our love so rare,
A group of women, walking towards a future so fair.

Dandelion Wishpers

Beneath the Singapore stars so bright,
The full moon beams its gentle light,
A true smile graces my lips so tender,
In this moment, my heart is a sender.

I’m fine, I’ll continue to be,
Embracing love and all that’s free,
Whispers of dandelions in the night,
Carry promises of love, so light.

The fragrance of jasmine fills the air,
As passion and hope intertwine with care,
A symphony of crickets softly serenades,
Echoing the love that deeply pervades.

Vintage Bicycle

Vintage Bicycle

Beneath the bright blue sky,
A pair of lovers ride, painting romance,
Together on a bicycle, feeling their emotions,
Exploring the world with pure love.

The breeze gently caresses their glowing faces,
Carrying beautiful prayers skyward,
Both trusting and loyal,
Treading every step of life together.

“Isn’t this beautiful?”
The bicycle bell whispers atop the handlebar of fate,
“Of course, the world belongs to lovers alone….”
Turning the pedals, like beetle legs propelling,
Guiding towards a bright future.

The scent of roses mingles with jasmine’s fragrance,
The sound of the gending kebo giro plays,
Penetrating the chamomile flowers.
Nature hums, singing a song
Of sincerity and surrender,
Two human beings.

*Translate Bahasa Indonesia

Sepeda Onthel

Di bawah langit biru nan cerah
Sepasang kekasih melaju melukis asmara
Di atas sepeda bersama menitih rasa
Menjelajahi dunia dengan cinta suci

Hembusan angin mengusap wajah-wajah bercahaya
Membawa doa-doa indah naik menembus langit
Berdua saling percaya dan setia
Menapaki tiap jengkal setapak kehidupan

“Ini sungguh indah, kan?”
Bisik bel sepeda di atas stang takdir
“Tentu saja, dunia hanyalah milik para pecinta ….”
Urai pedal, kala kaki-kaki sang kumbang mengayuh
Memimpin menuju cahaya terang masa depan.

Heharum mawar semerbak diantara ronce melur
Suara gending kebo giro mengalun
Merobos daun-daun bunga chamomile
Alam bersenandung, menyanyanyikan tembang
Tentang ketulusan dan kepasrahan
Dua insan manusia

A Note to Myself

Dear Self,

I trust that God has grand plans in store for you.
I understand that the world may feel cruel and unjust at this moment,
but remember that in order to become a sparkling diamond,
one must endure pain and heartache.
So, persevere and never lose hope.
You undoubtedly have the strength to overcome any challenge.
Keep your spirits high!

I want to express my gratitude and offer my apologies to myself.
Thank you for being by my side through so much.
Though we find ourselves at rock bottom now, we are not alone.
It’s just you and me, and as long as we stand together,
we will be okay even if our circumstances
diverge from our original plans.
It’s alright not to feel okay.

I apologize for not valuing you enough
and for pushing you to your limits,
even to the point where we cannot perform perfectly.
I’m sorry for constantly burdening you
with exceedingly high expectations.
I strive to love you more than ever before.
Ultimately, we may be alone,
but God is eternally present for us.
Trust in Him and have faith.

Angel Without Wings

In the hospital room, a woman stands strong,
Beside the bed where a soul holds on.
Her eyes reflect love, concern, and care,
A silent support, always there.

With a gentle touch, she offers solace,
Her presence a comforting embrace.
In moments of fear and uncertainty,
She stands as a beacon of serenity.

Her strength, a pillar for the one in need,
A symbol of love in word and deed.
In this image of empathy so clear,
She embodies compassion, sincere and dear.

For the woman by the hospital bed,
With her unwavering presence led,
May her kindness bring warmth and light,
And guide the soul through the darkest night.

To My dearest Ms. Deepa and all the staff nurses at west 8 Glenneagles Hospital, Singapore.
