A tribute poem for the late Restituta R. Benabaye (1918-2007)

By: Ernesto Benabaye Jr.

Every time I think about it,

My heart can’t help to cry.

Cause every time I think about you,

Best memories come into view.

Is there any way that I can see you?

Not only in my dreams; cause I want in real.

I know it’s too late to say this to you,

I can’t find any one sweeter than you.

I wish I could go back in time,

Back to your arms and warm embraces; sweet divine.

Cause every time I reminisce my childhood years with you,

Just like a treasure; simply I can’t let you go.

I miss you so much; too much,

That my heart can’t bear.

And I’m sorry to say; until this day,

My heart has been filled with grief since that fateful day.
