Never Give Up 

By Maria Editha G. Respicio

In the solitude of the cold breeze December night 

Stars were twinkling and Luna’s smiling peacefully 

To the sweet lovers seated and  cuddling so tight 

Tomorrow’s a transition they must face bravely 

 

In the moonlit skies, she mirrored he’s trembling 

She could see the pain in his eyes, she’s hurting too 

She would be away from his rock, his everything 

But their fervent love vowed to stay faithful and true 

 

And off she went faraway to her new endeavor 

Armed with faith and the desire to help her family 

She’s ready to beat the challenges of this adventure 

She then embraced domestic job wholeheartedly 

 

Transition’s heart-wrenching for  a devoted mother 

Every time she took care of her ward, she wept 

It should be her son that she’s nurturing not others 

Her consolation that  time was a  photo she kept  

 

Migrant mothers sacrifices are immeasurable  

Culture shock, sleepless nights, demanding work 

Name them, only the courageous one can handle  

But she won them all with patience and hard work 

 

That’s why she’s extremely shattered and shaken  

When infidelity entered their sacred marriage life 

She took a break from her job to fix what’s broken 

Family’s far  precious, the main reason she strives 

 

Through God’s grace she learned how to forgive 

Eventually, she let go of her hatred and  bitterness 

She forgave her husband, and patched up things 

Not easy but forgiving’s the only key to happiness 

 

Their love story’s full of  trials, far from perfect  

The epitome of  fighting  and never giving up 

Their silver wedding was celebrated last week 

Secret to a lasting marriage, forgive and  forget 

 

In two years, she will be home for good 

Son’s finished college and is now working 

Time to rest from her arduous work abroad 

For  God graciously granted her yearning 

It's the story of how I triumphed the many challenges of toiling abroad with God's help..Most especially the temptation that happened to our marriage, that's a common scenario now a days..But I made it a point that, I did all my best to preserve our marriage for the sake of our children. We all commit mistake, so why would I not give him a chance for repentance?
