a soul set free,
/edited
hey, i know i've never posted since like forever. so i now take this chance to post for a special someone. who, not just by me, would be dearly missed.
Renato Mesina Magpantay Sr. My grandfather. He was the one who took care of me for 3 years before i came to singapore. i was young then and i never really remember anything. but how i wish i could. when i went back home, i saw him. he was lying in the coffin.. he was at peace. everybody told me that i was his favourite grandchild. he even got pissed with my parents because they brought me along to singapore instead of leaving me with him. i feel bad because i never really got to thank him or even appreciate him. but i know he is a man who has a heart of a lion. The pain we felt was nothing compared to the pain he felt. I always prayed for him, we all did. I never expected him to leave just like that. It was all so sudden. he suffered more than i've ever imagined. So at least i have a reason to be thankful that he's no longer in pain.
ill never forget him, when i grow old, im gonna tell my grandchildren about him. so with that, i dedicate this poem to him, this is really touching.
God looked around His garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful. He only takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road getting rough and the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you the day God took you home.
If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk a path to heaven to be with you again.
In Loving Memory,
Renato Mesina Magpantay Sr
January 10 1939 - January 10 2009
We all love you Tatay. Always.
