You remind me of my mom
that I thought maybe you could be one.
You smile whenever I greet you.
But not just any kind of smile–
A smile that makes me smile.
You share many memorable stories.
But not just any kind of stories–
Stories filled with lessons from fruitful memories.
You say I did well.
But you don’t stop there.
You say I can do better.
You listen when I have questions–
Questions that may be too simple
But you still answer, help and smile.
You remind me of my mom that I thought maybe you could be one.
I will miss your smile that makes me smile.
Your stories that I’ll forever remember.
And your ears that never tire to listen.
I will miss you.
You remind me of my mom, Ma’am Simbulan.
