Throughout a year I can show many frowns.
Throughout a month I can taste defeat,
Throughout a day I have said retreat.
I'm a well-known sinner in this world,
Never knew when I'm right or have been fooled.
Have experienced tedious sacrifices,
Have given up a lot just for my fazes.
But nevertheless I am still happy,
It's a miracle, or maybe I'm just silly.
Because throughout the downs, I always get up.
Never giving up without taking the fighter's cup.
Alas! I realized there's Someone who gives me strength,
Just behind my back to support me to surpass the length.
He had been my Best Friend for so long,
The One encouraging me to go on and fight the throng.
Now, can you guess who He is?
It is my God who gave me life's bliss!

When you and I first met.
My heart sang a different tune,
That I would never forget.
I was attracted to you by the mere fact,
That I recall your face somewhere else.
And when you showed me such act,
You're a gentleman, my heart tells.
“I've got a crush on you,”
Said my young little heart.
But to tell these words to you,
I don't know where to start.
But I intend to tell you, you know,
About what my heart really tells me so;
But I'm running out of time to let it show,
Cause I know it's already time to go.
Nevertheless, I would really love to have you,
As a friend across the miles.
And those 63 hours I spent with you,
Made my trip worthwhile.
