Changing Lives Poem by Laurence Ruedas

Changing Lives



It's been a month since I came to know you

A month since we started to befriend each other

A month since we started sharing tears and laughter

A month since my life begin to change



I am new in the community

A community where no one knows the real me

Afraid of criticisms, afraid that you'll reject me

I intend to be aloof avoiding everybody



Minute became hours as hours became days

Different people, different personalities I began to face

Bound together in one place

Bound together giving each other a warm embrace



Lots of things happen in just a week

Gone door to door with the Word of God we speak

Catechism to the children using different gimmick

Indeed no bore moments because it's God we seek



Different things have changed emotionally

Some felt conscious on their maturity

Some grow spiritually

Hopefully all out grow holistically



To the brothers whom I got along with

To the brothers who make our nose bleed: D

To the brothers, from the youth you take the lead

My deepest gratitude to your good deeds



To my new friends from Barracks

I admire your creative minds and fancy acts

In our minds and in our hearts you made mark

Hope to see each other again, hope you'll come back



To my new friends from the parish

Thank you for the friendship you have furnished

And to those wonderful moments we cherished

Hope our relationship won't vanish



To the priests of the parish, Father Nonong and Father Niño

To the newly ordained priest, Father Cris

My deepest gratitude for your support and care

Whenever we need you, you're always there



Friends are found everywhere

Best friends are found when you're at your most embarrassing moment

True friends are found when you're at your darkest moment

Forever friends are found at church because they are God's gift.
