A Decade of Us
A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
It was the year two thousand when it sparked,
When two people, hundred of miles apart,
Started the first single step of a decade march.
A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
How hot and wonderful summer that was,
Vacation from the University, no school works at last!
More important than that, I have known a beautiful lass!
A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
From that blissful summer, to the months and years that pass,
The march continued through mails, SMS and long distance calls,
The journey moved through heartaches, love, sorrows and joys.
A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
Through the years and despite the intriguing distance,
The seed that was implanted that summer of two thousand,
Grew into a promising tree of love, hope and happiness.
A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
It was the end summer of two thousand four,
When the march reached the end of friendship,
And started a new journey of mutual love.
A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
As normal relationship they said, ups and downs existed,
The happy memories and sad moments we shared,
Made you and me a solid “US”.
A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
The year two thousand eight, when we got married first,
Two thousand nine when we renewed our vows at church,
That was a ten years passed – A great decade of Us.
Dedicated to my wife, Dr. Myrnelly Caroro-Pagdilao.
