Krus ng Aking Ina or My Mother’s Cross, poem by Franco Coralde Sangreo
For nine months you bore me
Taking care of me in every turn and rhythm.
The day came, with my eyes still closed
When I first caught sight of this world.
My wailing echoed,
Assign of my cavalry that is about to start.
It is an arduous task for me
To travel to the crossroads of Golgotta
But you are there my dearest mother,
Carrying my cross while I still cannot.
