Ode to Lolas

Hand in hand
Tess Guia and her granddaughter Maye
walking down the Boulevard.
You are their heroes
They are your future.

In their faces you see your own
The same yet different.
Their dreams based on stories
They heard from your lips.
Tess Maranan and her grandkids.
Yes, she only has 1 granddaughter.

Maring Flaminiano and her granddaughter Brielle.
Edna Santos and her granddaughter Aice.

Nina Tibay and her granddaughter Kasumi.





Your time freely given
To tell of long ago.
Heart to heart connections
They'll love you forever.
Your name chanted
Through the ages.

I know for my lola gone these
Thirty-seven years
Is with me still.
