Look around you, what do you see?
The mass murders in Syria,
The nuclear threats in North Korea,
Do you think the world will live in peace?

Look around you, what do you see?
The disastrous typhoons in Manila,
The huge earthquakes in China,
Do you think the world will be able to survive?

Look around you, what do you see?
The bombings in Boston Marathon,
After the horrifying events of 9/11,
Do you think it’s the last explosion?

Look around you, what do you see?
Do you see your brother as an enemy?
Why can’t you bow your head,
And together we pray?

Look around you and look very clear,
Can you justify killing innocent children?
When will these terrorist attacks end?
The world needs now clean and fresh air.

Look around you, what do you see?
The world needs a guiding light in the dark,
To better be able to fight every evil mark,
In chaos, the world needs to be free.

In tragic times,
Forget about all the differences,
The world needs peace and love for everyone,
And these needs need to be done.

- – - written by Alon Calinao Dy. This poem is dedicated for all people who want to have peace and love in the world.

She is a woman
Who feeds, cuddles, and loves me.
The one who gave birth to me.
I’m her greatest fan.

She is my mother
Who loves my father,
Does anything for her children
And takes care of her grandchildren.

She is my best friend too,
Comforts me when I feel blue.
She is my best mother,
I couldn’t replace her with another.

She is a sweet and loving parent
Who cooks my favorite foods,
Does household chores
And looks after my grandparents.

She does multi tasks
And gives me anything I ask
Because for her,
I’m her wealth and power.

When I was a child,
She taught me how to fear God.
Sometimes, I found it awkward
But she would understand.

When I married my fiancee
She told me,
“Love your wife as your mother.”
Her advice I’d treasure forever.

Every now and then,
She would send an email.
She would always tell,
“I love you and I miss you son.”

She is my mother,
A wonderful mother
To her sons and daughter.
I am very proud of her.
