Keep me in your arms

By: Dianne Escobar

Keep me in your arms for I might run down

I’m mature but I have never grown.

My fear is brighter that this has shown

This feeling that’s strong for my own

I don’t even want to fall down

but I’m still here in this town.

I wish I have the queens crown

But that is something you’ve never shown.

Even though this hurts me alone

I still choose to be shown

A strong kind of person

To make this feeling drown
 Little Girl
By: Dianne Escobar

Little girl, who made you lonely

Little girl, what did he do
Little girl, did he hurt you
Little Girl, What do you want me to do

Little girl, I’m just beside you

Little girl I’m here to listen
Little girl I want to help you
Little girl I just want to comfort you

Little girl, don’t hide from the world

Little girl, don’t close the door
Little girl you don’t deserve the pain
Little Girl, you don’t have to run away

Little girl, let me wipe your tears

Little girl, let me help you heal
Little girl let me protect you
Little girl, let me save you
 Music is a friend
By: Dianne Escobar

Have you ever felt it?

Felt like music is the only friend
A friend that understand your thoughts and feelings
Feeling that you tried to hide
Feeling that you can’t express
Express to the people you love
To the people you care about
But music somehow knows it all.

When you’re sad it Melo songs you can play

When you feel so happy, Lively songs air
When you’re celebrating, a celebration song can add
to it
When you love is in the air you choose love song to
play
When grief comes your way, music makes its way to
grieve with you
Somehow music is your unborn twin
A twin that feels the way you feel and speaks for you
as well
Music is a friend that doesn’t needs talk to
understand you.
 Life for me is like this
By: Dianne Escobar

It was a great and lovely day

I have many debts to pay
The clouds began to shrink
And my mind starts to think
What has happened to me? I said.
Is this life because I think that I am dead.
How cruel life is?

Raindrops starts to fall

And there is no one I can call
No one to talk with
No one I can share with my problems I tend to keep
with myself
Like books kept on a shelf
Steady and arranged according to their kind
Is life like this?

Raindrops turned to rainfall

And still there is no one I can call
 To whom will I share?
This burden I have to bare
I am sorry for I have to call this as the end
And I am sad because I can declare I have no friend
Life for me is like this.

The one I knew

By : Dianne Escobar

The Dianne Kay I knew

Stands 4’11’, skinny, has a cute face and such a shy
girl
Daughter of Mars and Aida,
Sister of Alec, Gian and Marianne
She loves sweets, Music and her family
She feels happy whenever she sings, dance and serves
She somehow needs appreciation, recognition and
comfort
She gives effort, support and love to the people she
loves
She also fears rejection, neglection and failure
She Loves to see people happy, content and loved as
well
She enjoys riding bike, bus and to travel
She’s more comfortable in wearing jeans, cute
dresses and shirts
She’s born not to please others but to serve God and
 be just her own self
She is the Dianne I knew
The one I knew.

My Easter Experience
By: Dianne Escobar

Most of the Filipino celebrates the holy week each and every
passing year.
Instead of going out of our home to watch the “Pinetensiya”, I
spend my Holy week in a youth
camp with my church mates and the one of the church affiliated to
us. The First was actually
really good we were divided into 10 different tribes and 6 from our
church were assigned as the
leaders of the tribes. We were given minimum of 4 members each
and maximum of four. We
leaders help the organizers arrange the games at the same time
practice for the worship before
activity. I was blessed to know that my youths are strong enough
to know what to do when we
are all being persecuted we have experience moments at some
point that we were all being judge
as a “not good Leaders” but I’m proud to say that I know my
youths very well and they know
who they are.

That first day inspired me that whatever happens we should

all know where we will
stand. And that stand is for right things only. That summer camp
brought me out of my shell to
speak and defend my youths. They have given me the authority
and position to protect and lead
my youths. On the second day it was a bit harsh for we heard
words that are somehow below the
belt and we also felt that they are pulling us down. It actually
changed my point of view in
some way. But one thing I know my youth are strong when it
comes to these for we never
fought even if we are being hurt emotionally and psychologically.

On the last day the only activity left was the washing of the
feet of our members. While
washing their feet we were telling them the things we are thankful
and sorry about, after that
we prayed for each of them. I never expected that they will wash
my feet as well for I don’t
really think that I was a good leader but all I can say that time was
to God be the glory for he
had touch me to know what to do, to do what I think was best that
time. I am thankful that I
belong to our church. Now I know that our training when we were
young is something we can use
and we are using right now. This is my Easter experience I may be
physically tired, emotionally
drained but all I know is that I am Spiritually uplifted. Now I can
say that we fought our
battles with courage, knowledge and wisdom.

A moon that’s in love

By: Dianne Escobar

Before I cross the line

If ever you’ll see me I wish to make you
smiling, mine.
I wish to let you know
my feeling.
I want you to smile
back
Will even find a joke to
crack
Please listen to my
prayer
For your protective
layers. If this is the real
moment,
Listen to my hearts cry, I would have a plane to
Because really, I am rent
shy. So I could climb down,
All I wanted is for you Even if I could drown.
to smile, The earth is your
I want you in every territory,
style. The place of your glory.
 do.
Dear, my dear flower,
I the moon will go
lower.
Just to see those eyes,
That could melt even
an ice.
And to dive down to
you,
Just to be with you I’ll
Love for a bird
By: Dianne Escobar

I thought I am happy Being down here,

As I can be, There is no fear
I even buzz like a bee Because I’m the water
so clear.
I see you through,
The clouds is blue
Wants to ask “How are
you?”

But you fly so high,

Up in the sky
Wish I too could try
 My dearest bird,
Make me heard
This song is my third.

It could be my last,
But not so fast
It starts from the past.

When I saw you,

What a beautiful view
Then I knew “I Love
You”
The hero
By: Dianne Escobar

You lived for me

So, I my blind eyes see
You fought for me
Even though I don’t deserve it
And though me the lessons so patiently

You bare the stripes,

Carried the cross
Just to set me free
You died for me
 Through your death I am free

For what you have done for me

I can see the beauty you have created for me
Heard the songs to sing for you
Felt your touch that comforts me
And, lived the life you gave for me

The Filipinos are worth dying for

Ninoy Aquino’s life was the price he paid for the

fight for the Filipino
People. He fought for his beloved countries to flee
from the Marcus Martial
Law. Because of his love for the people and the
country he died. He died
Fighting for freedom. Bravery is not the exact word
to describe what he did
But, heroism. He sacrificed the life he could spend
with his family to save
the Filipinos.

He showed an example of love. A love that is

 willing to sacrifice,
Willing to suffer and willing to fight. He proved to
the world that there is no
Limitation or boundary set to limit the people from
loving his or her own
Country. For a person who loves is brave enough to
become a warrior of his
Beloved ones. He inflicted great encouragement for
the people of the
Philippines to speak their mind and fight for their
freedom.

He influenced the Filipino to fight, to be brave

and not be cowards.
He taught them a great lesson of bravery, sacrifice
and love. He was a
Warrior and a soldier without a gun and a shield, but
he has a mind that can
Fight every battle. Blood is never his option to fight
but his knowledge and
Wisdom that can make an enemy go down their
knees. A hero is in him that
Showed great light and hope to Filipinos.

Beauty
By: Dianne Escobar
A beauty that comes from within flows to the outside
Beauty is never defined by the color of our skin
Not by how we act.
Not by how we dress
Not by how we speak

Beauty comes from a clean heart

Beauty glows in a dark place
Beauty shows mercy
Beauty acts kindly
But never for the glory.

Beauty is defined by how real,

How true,
How blunt,
How natural’
A person acted

Dry leaves
By: Dianne Escobar
 As I walk past the path way
I see brown colored leaves
Made me feel giddy of walking
Walking bear footed
To feel the roughness of it
Walking through it makes a sound
A sound that calms me
The nature is what I can see
Eyes closed and arms wide open
The smell of crashing leaves
Brings back memories
Memories of a child free from pain
Memories of a child with freedom to play
How wonderful you are to me.
