Sending my greetings to Heaven

Dear Jesus,

How are you?
It's your birthday. Again.
I doubt if you really grow old
Or if you have any age

How do you celebrate?
Maybe not with balloons or cake
Do you sit down with friends
or joke around with your angels?

I know you like music
You like to be praised
You enjoy seeing people
dancing and singing

I thought I know you
But my wisdom is too little
to understand you
So, I wish to know you more

In my eyes, you are no longer a lamb
who is meek and never proud
You are a strong lion. A brave king
Who owns everything


You do what you like.
You control the future
You erase the past
You own the present


You own my thoughts. My heart.
Everything that surrounds me is yours
I cannot hide from you, even if I want to
You are the God I have to bow down to

Those good things you gave me
are never mine
Things that I love, you take them
Anytime you need them back

What can I do?
I cannot complain. I can only cry.
You remind me all the time
You are the King. I am but a servant.

Everything is borrowed.
Everything is lent
I came to this world alone
For my life is borrowed too

I write this with a sad heart
But I do not hate you
I will not hate you
I will still thank you

You are my God
I will not bow down to any other gods
On your birthday
This is my promise to you


I thank you for all the good things
you lent me this year
Thank you for remembering to bless me
I have questions. But I will trust you.

I hope if you are going to lend
me another good thing
Please make it stay longer
and remind me that you are gracious

I cannot go to Heaven to greet you personally
So just read my thoughts and my heart.
Be loving to me and send my greetings
to those that I love who are now...in Heaven

Have a Happy Birthday Jesus!

Winter left me before Christmas

I saw her face and I thought of Winter
Some dogs look the same
but she's the prettiest in her litter
White with only a hint of brown
on her tiny ears
Just like the season, not perfect
but still wonderful

She is a quiet dog
Just like me, she loves corners
Beside a wall, underneath the table
if not, beside me
She would bark if needed
Few loud barks and nothing more
Few words indeed

I admire her patience
Hours and hours of waiting
She would punish me with kisses
I take them as my reward
She would stay on my lap
Asking for a back massage
and a bowl of her food

Like a real daughter
She is an obedient one
I say no and she would abide
No complaining, no whining
I love her she knows
Everything is for her good
She trust me.

Her eyes are big
full of innocence
She is after all a baby
Never proud. Always meek.
She knows what is hers and not
Never selfish. Always a giver.
She would share her bowl

I wake up. She will wake up
I sleep and she will sleep
She will eat what I feed her
She will take what I give her
Vitamins and bitter medicines
She will accept them quietly
I am a proud mommy

She lived like an only child
She can play on her own
when I am not around
When I with her
I am her only world
Her playmate
Her best friend

She loves me I know
She cares for me too
But I cannot touch her feet.
Don't even try. She hates it.
She acts just like me
She gets angry sometimes
But she would never bite her mommy

She loves water.
Cold or not
She drinks two bottles a day
So, I do not worry for her health
Because I know she would stay
For years and many more years
We will be together and play

Breakfast time yesterday
She ate her food and played
I left her for a second
Knowing she will drink water
I glanced again and there she was
Too weak to stand
Too weak to breath
In seconds, she was gone

Her life was cut short
Her heart stopped too early
He was but a year old
Too early to die
And what about me?
Just like last time
I was left with nothing

No matter how hurt I am today
I cannot complain
Just like the season,
she cannot stay
When summer comes, I will wish for cold
Because only winter and snow
can make me whole

A Quarantine pass is more precious than gold (a continuation to my first morning of pandemic life)

After my nap, my mom asked me to accompany  her to the grocery store to again find some alcohol, canned goods and frozen food to help us ...
