Spoiler: My Answered Prayer is You

Posted on by

Had a list of everything I ever wanted
A blueprint of what everything should be
Prayed really hard and very often
Thought of how truly happy I’d be

I waited and waited and waited
Didn’t know when it would come
Almost felt it was futile and hopeless
Almost felt like giving up

Then, it came when it was unexpected
And it came as a real surprise
Didn’t need to look so far ahead
I just had to open my eyes

Had to let go of the overthinking
And stop looking for what could go wrong
Had to listen to what my heart was saying
My answered prayer was beside me all along

In case you don’t remember
Or you’re wondering if it is true
I’ve said this in the spoiler
My answered prayer is you

Ikaw

Ikaw ang suporta sa mabigat na dalahin
Ikaw ang tamis na nakakakilig
Ikaw ang kumot sa malamig na gabi
Ikaw ang kape na pampagising

Ikaw ang lakas sa bawat pagnginig ng tuhod
Ikaw ang salbabida sa bawat pagkalunod
Ikaw ang tapang pagsapit ng dilim
Ikaw ang katahimikan sa maingay na pag-iisip

Ikaw ang pampakalma sa bawat pag-aalala
Ikaw ang pag-asa sa bawat buntong-hininga
Ikaw ang ligaya sa pagkulimlim
Ikaw ang pag-ibig na pinagdasal at dumating

30 Wishes

I wish you the all the usuals –
The perfect health, many more years
For more loving moments with your man
A stronger bond with your cool kid
And while we’re at it, I wish for another quirky one to come
I wish for more love in your extended family

I wish that you get to all beautiful places you can’t even imagine
For more walks in the forest and lovely strolls by the beach
For you to try more exquisite cuisines and food trips by the street
I wish that you enjoy the wildest adventures and capture the most stunning pics
For you to revel in the most varied cultures and meet the weirdest of this species
I wish that you get to find some as treasured friends for keeps

I wish you more exciting political discussions
For more debates about even the most mundane things
I wish you more meaningful conversations and reflections deep within
I wish for more creations that come as a result of your brilliant mind
What else could I wish for a stellar human being
But for you to fulfill your grandest dreams

I wish you more head-on collisions and more bended knees
I wish for more seemingly impossible choices and decisions that bring you chills
I wish that these bring to an entirely new place
And remind you of the towering strength you’ve always had within
I wish for a faith that continues to deepen
I wish you joy that constantly wins
