The Egret and the Cattle

The Egret and the Cattle

by Mark Kaven  Lazaro

I am an egret and I fly freely high

Anywhere I could go by my spreading wings

Anything I could see here in the sky

I can reach many trees, oh yes many things

I am a cattle with a rope on my neck

I just stay on the green fields to consume grass

I carry heavy loads, yes I carry this burden

Yet my master slaps me if do not go

I am an egret and you are a cattle

You are not like me, Oh you are not like me

No one owns me, that is why I'm really free

That is your problem because you have your lord

I am a hunter and I will go shoot you

Here is my gun trying to point where you are

Fly! fly! and save your life Oh poor white bird

Bang! Bang! there you are falling very quickly

I am a cattle and you are an egret

Thanks to my master for I have him

I'm tied but I'm safe wherever he will go

That is your problem because you don't have lord

"The Choice"

The Morning Star

The Choice

The Choice
by Mark Kaven Lazaro

Two accused men stood before 

Both were tied up by the chain

Which one of them deserves 

He laughed, he mocked, he rejoiced

For the crowd cried "set him free!"

I remember, I remember they shouted 

Crucify him! Crucify him!

Two accused men stood before

yet middle man saw nothing

Not even one sin of him 

He justified and he washed

The hands that tried to escape 

 I remember, I remember they shouted

Crucify him! Crucify him!

Three condemned men were hanged up

everyone was pierced by nail

Which of them is innocent

One mocked, but the one believed

For the right said "Save yourself!"

I remember, I remember the left shouted

Remember me! Take me to your kingdom!

Ten Reminders

One, thou call unto the Son of Man

Two, Think that all things He can do

Three, God has plan for thee

Four, He is a friend that always love you more

Five, If thou will submit to Him you will survive

Six, your broken life will be fixed

Seven, share your request to your brethren

Eight, Come unto God before it's too late

Nine, blessings and abundance will be thine

Ten, He promised you will not be forsaken

The Air

The Air

by Mark Kaven Lazaro

The air blows softly

Then sometimes strong

Waves your hair gently

Tell me if I'm wrong

We believe in air 

Even we don't see

It exists since ere

Do I lie to thee?

If thou believe not

There's no GOD exists

Hope that thou breathe not

The death can't resist

"I Still Love You My Son"

"I Still Love You My Son"
by Mark Kaven Lazaro



He held my life for a long time

He gave all the best things for me

He showed the love, the life sublime

He cared for me and always be

I ran  away from my Father

I let my feet brought me so far

I had chosen the world rather

I spent my days, 'till I've felt jar

From the dusty road I'd walked

The power and wealth are now gone

With the swine I friendly talked

I thought all the things which undone

I suffered from my wickedness
I was half dead man walking back
That's what I got with selfishness
That brought myself badly out hack


Now I am turning back again
So ashamed for what I have done
 For I've lost it all and got vain
Now all things are wasted and gone


But there I saw a man standing
Gladly shouting "My son!" "My son!"
My teardrops fell from astounding
Then he said "I still love you son"

When I heard this song "When God Ran" by Philip, Craig and Dean..I felt so  secure by our Almighty Father. 

This is the reason why I wrote this poem "I Still Love You Son".
Please read the poem and listen to the tremendous powerful message of the song.
GOD BLESS US ALL BRETHREN
Keep Holding unto HIM 

“Buhay at Kabutihan”

“Buhay at Kabutihan”

Ni Mark Kaven Lazaro

I

Narinig mo na ba ang sabi sabi ng nakararami

Na ang mabait ay maagang nauwi

Doon sa langit kapiling ng ating Dyos

Pa’no ang iba sa kabutiha’y kapos

II

Maraming tao nagsasabi sa atin

At ito ay agad kong nabigyang pansin

Katagang sa aking isipa’y tumimo

Matagal mamatay ang masamang damo

III 

 Saan ka lulugar sa dilim o liwanag

Tila iba ang kanilang paliwanag

Ito’y nasaad, banal na kasulatan

Buhay’y biyaya sa taong nagtitwala

IV

Marahil hindi lamang nila nalalaman

Buhay man kahulugan ng kabutihan

Gumawa ng mabuti aking kapatid

Ating Dyos laan ay buhay na walang patid

[This is my first Tagalog poem in this blog]

[God bless us all brethren]

“The Man Who Trusts”

“The Man Who Trusts”

By Mark Kaven Lazaro

In our lives sometimes we think life is unfair

We use to ask our God, why these things happen

Then when we feel that these are too much to bear

We forgot him so that we fall to sullen

Are we blaming the God for these misfortunes?

Oh brethren, Oh brethren stand up

Give thanks and keep singing, show that everyone tunes

Behind our anxieties do not give up

We feel strong or weak, just seek Him

We feel so up or so down, just keep holding

We feel glad or sad don’t let our light turn dim

Remember that He blesses man who’s trusting

"Fly Boy"

“Fly Boy”

by Mark Kaven Lazaro

I remember when I was a child

My dad lifts me over his shoulder

While stretching my arms like flying

He holds me tightly saying “fly boy!”

I remember when I was a teen 

My dad says he looks good as I am

While I am combing my cool hairdo

He sips his coffee and said “take care”

When I am already twenty one

My dad holding my childhood pictures

While I’m answering my girl’s phone call

He laughed and said “I’ll miss this cool boy”

Now I am standing here to fight

Ready to ride on my own stealth

I remember my dad said “fly boy”

Now I’m flying, I will miss you dad

The war ended up, time to come back

I returned to my home where he was

I got shock when I saw white stone

There his name written so I kneeled down

I cried and said why he didn’t wait

Here am I Dad returned back again

I felt someone whispers saying that

“It is my time, I have to fly boy”

I Am A Citizen of Heaven

by Mark Kaven Lazaro

I don't understand why they are opposing

They are rejecting me like spiting unwanted food

Behind of my intention to save them from dying

Making believe to the one most great God

As I journey in this world I feel stranger

For everything comes against my culture

Behind of how I utter is to save them from danger

Yet they look sharply like a vulture

Then someone told me who's like me

"Brethren this world is not our home"

Now I know why they are use to be 

I am a citizen of heaven someday I will come 

Give and Thou shalt be Given

Sometimes you feel lucky having great possessions

You feel you will never go needy and poor

Eating in lofty chair, living in palace and mansions

That is your style like the rich man and Lazarus on the floor

Your hands are always close to release

But always open to accept great things

Like the Dead sea that no place for water to ease

Don't wait the time, one day God will cut your wings

The bible says give and thou shall be given

What if the shower should stop and never be back

If you want to stay, be an eagle not raven

 Also try to share blessings then everything never be lack

You Are My Everything

I believe You're the author of my story

Every time You write Its pages

There are Your great plan and will for me

I believe You're the healer of my wandering heart

Every time I've been hurt and broken

There's Your love that cures my heart

You are my God who created my world and myself

My Jesus who saved me

The Lord that I serve

My loving Friend and my King

You are my everything

I believe You're the provider to all my needs

Every time I utter my prayers

Before I ask You knew it indeed

I believe You're my Father that won't let me go

Even I try to escape and follow myself

You're still there, loving me yes You do

Great Are You that Saved My Life

by Mark Kaven Lazaro

I was alone in the dark 

Where it's like God did not created light

Walking in endless shadow

Oh no I can't find the way out

I was walking in the quicksand

While I'm going, I'm sinking

My feet didn't move to escape

Shouting  for help but there's nothing

I was in the wild river

Going where it goes I couldn't resist

Pushing me 'till I drown and die

No rocks, no boat to ask for rescue

Almost dead when I heard You

Saw you, and giving your hands

You saved me from death

Just like the hero and the heroine 

Full of danger is this world we stand on

My voice to sing all praises is not enough 

To thank you requires my whole life

Great is You that saved my life

Why Is It So Hard to Follow

Why is it so hard to follow

Even all He wants is the best

And greatest love he wants to show

Just obey and He will do the rest

Why is it so hard to thank

When our lives are ruined and miserable

We are like a money-less bank

We seem to destroy, we're close to crumble

Try to look what the LORD commanded

In the book of Matthew chapter six you find

Those promises has power for you to be persuaded

Trust and obey to set free from being blind

Your Love

Everyday of living having you is a blessing

Like a great treasure that I possess 

Loving me is the reason why I  sing

Yet making story or poem for your greatness

You are my shelter Oh LORD

the strong rock which I tightly hold

You are my potter Oh LORD

I let your hands work in me to mold

I know that I am safe in your side

The dangers and harms of this life couldn't reach me

For you always keep me abide

To change is the thing you'll never be

I love the way you love 

Using my voice all my life is not enough

To thank for setting me like dove

You are always before me, in good even rough

Never Alone

From the start you showed me the love

You gave me life and chance to live in this world

I was molded like clay and free like dove

I'm glad you are there with your goodness untold

In times of happiness You are there

A hidden friend that wants the best

In times of trouble You are there

Like the a bird that fight for eggs from nest

You lift me up when I'm down

You make me whole when I'm broken

You give me strength and joy when I'm frown

You touch my heart when I'm sullen

I'd walked away from You

I'd journeyed but felt alone

I'd thought you're not there

But I was amazed you lead me home

Never alone, never alone

I'll won't run from you again

You always by my side, always sojourn

You work in my life yet not in vain

From the East and West

North and South you are in everywhere

Now my life has been blessed

I'll never be alone, because You are there

For Our Beloved Fathers

Blessed is you that have someone to call father

From the infancy, until what you are he guides

Through the years he's there and you laugh together

Just like what you remember is him holding you riding rides

A child lifted on shoulders makes the idea 

Painfully that father won't see us down 

Taking the risks and sufferings to see you with diploma 

How great love for us our father have shown 

His strength is not being physically strong

But mighty enough to face family trials

His strength is not having many woman for his surname prolong

But keeping what is for his and loving without denials

As the time passes by when their eyes have started by white covered

Their knee bone become brittle and weak

The hair turning to gray but sometimes die colored

Becoming Alzheimer and spent times in bed because of sick

We must be thankful having them

For the Almighty has fated fathers to carry family

Let their love be back, don;t be sharp but make hem

Never put walls but bridges to rich them when they are needy 

The head of the family is important

Be proud son and daughters

Let wives recognize that they are pleasant

Respectfully, this poem is for our beloved fathers

Never Alone

From the start you showed me the love

You gave me life and chance to live in this world

I was molded like clay and free like dove

I am glad you are there with the goodness untold

In times of happiness You are there

A hidden friend that wants the best

In times of trouble You are there

Like a bird that fight for the eggs from nest

You lift me up when I’m down

You make me whole when I’m broken

You give me strength and joy when I’m frown

You touch my heart when I’m sullen

I’d walked away from You

I’d journeyed but felt alone

I’d thought you’re not there

But I’m amazed, You lead me home

Never alone, never alone

I won’t run from you again

You’re always by my side, always sojourn

You work in my life yet not in vain

From the East and West

South and North You are in everywhere

My life has been blessed

‘cause I’ll never be alone, you’re there

Tonight I Write the Saddest Song

Tonight I Write the Saddest Song

Tonight I write the saddest song

Looking through my window, starring at the sky

The wind blows within the  hours so long

While the heavens burst its shout of cry

Making the lyrics of my feelings

Pushes me to do by the heavy rain outside

My heart aches is the composition tidings

My mind keep on telling do not, but hard to abide

From my room door there is the rope hanging

For I want to finish the sufferings and my laments

The chorus is perfectly done now I'm waiting

Because the bridge of song reminds our moments

Now the time has come my hands are cold

Stepping on my chair to reach the end

I shoved the book fell on the floor and I saw letter that bold

My tears fell so quick, my knees started to bend

"I will never leave you nor forsake you"

As the thunder lightened  my chamber 

I crawled to get the book I've read it continue 

This is my bible, thank GOD he saved me from danger

Trust Him

Many politicians use to give their oath

Multitude raise their names yet they shout 

Even power and respect now possibly be bought

To sit on lofty throne,just to feed his unstoppable mouth 

When the chosen owns his authority

And dwell in the house of his highness 

The promises seem to come short to its reality

The greed vanquished the faithfulness

We seek for the one we give our full trust

But failure is use to be the end of  the test

It's hard to choose out of the dust

For the one who will do his full best

Now I will introduce to you a Man

Not related to politics of  rusty government

He loves everyone, the one who never ran

He proves promises that brings to me the amazement

From His book we can find lots of promises

We're just not trusting His ability

We keep on doubting His love and goodness

So we are always failed to meet the prosperity

Let him reign in our lives

If everyone carry their hearts with Him

The nation will always in good drives

If you believe the LORD, trust Him

From a Tree I Saw a Sparrow

From a tree I saw a sparrow
Feeding its food from guavas that grow
I'd walked and I looked at waters on river flow
For the fishes live in every tomorrow


I've been worried for I have nothing
A life's scenario that caused me to say "loosing"
But I forgot, my pastor told me something
"You have God, why are you worrying?"


For birds feed, how much for the man
He'll give you solutions instead of empty can
The Father is full of mercy, to politicians He's more than
Always there, forever here, unlike friend who ran


Now I remember the use of prayer
Now I recall my pastor's reminder
Don't worry for He is better
In Matthew  seven verse seven, there  His answer

My Friend Jesus

My friend keeps on telling me
Open my eyes for me to see
From the bondage he wants me to be free
And be not captivated by hatred, he let me flee


My friend keeps on watching
For avoiding take vengeance from opposing
He teaches me look straightly and keep serving
for even brother can be aggressive and pushing


Others can let you down so possible
Showing you discouragement is so believable 
To stop your aim in front of God to be able
My friend gives me strength, he that so adorable


Others can hurt me like they utter as swords
But my friend comforts me through his words
Others may trip and stop me by their cords  
 My friend won't let it, He's King of kings but not Lord or lords


In doing my ministry and task
My fellow possible make me ask
My LORD says "don't follow they have mask"
"If you look them, they teach you to bask"


"Be strong and just continue"
My friend telling me to pursue
Enjoying serving him to block the rue
My friend JESUS will greatly bless me in due

You're my Lord and Mighty Savior

Last time I remember how Jesus Christ suffered from the Calvary, so I made a song about the grace we had received from Him.
I.
In your hands
There're holes  of love you give
In the wounds of your feet
It keeps me stay and never leave


Refrain:
Your love that covers me
You've mercy and grace for me


Chorus
Every time I remember your name
Every time I remember your pain
Jesus You lived, You died but You risen above
no reason to doubt of Your love
Your my Lord and mighty Savior


II.
In trouble and fear
You make all vanish away
In sorrow and tears
You give me joy  all day


Bridge
The sacrifice and shame
You bear the cross for me to save..

Jesus Paid it All

One time I think of Him
Why He suffered for my sin
From rulers' eyes He's prim
His death served for everyone soul to win


"Father, they know not what they do"
I cried when I heard that from you
'til the last words "it is finished" in sound so coo
is that the love came from you


No one can do the same
Bearing cross while they're in mane
They're brought you in shame
Laughing and laughing like they are insane


Jesus paid it all
From Calvary 'til rock of grave roll
He raised up in heaven, now we wait for call
The call which yonder to roll

I Wondered Why

I wonder why He let me

I wonder why I love thee

I wonder why He gave you to me

I wonder why there's I and thee

For every Adam has an Eve

To have connection that will never cleave

To love in morning,noon, not just in eve

To give heart, and deserve not to leave

If I follow the law of heaven

You and me will not be cloven

No one will raise as craven

Know First Corinthians Thirteen verse three to seven

Now I know the answer

Why and how I love her

These principles I always remember

Promise that I'll stay forever

I Dreamed About Jesus

As I journeyed my road

I got tired for seeking the end

'cause I suffered from heavy load

my knees started to bend

I  encountered a man

that told me the easiest way

full of excitement and I ran

I thought I was lucky for each day

I noticed the path getting rough

the risks were more than before

I deceived, he that in my ear sough

the anguish dragged me more and more

along the road of danger 

where decided to give up

I was helped by someone stranger

 he told me direction way up

I followed what he said

then I saw a man bearing a heavy wood

bloods on the ground where he laid

at my back a man laughing, he has black hood

I turned back my sight 

the man said to me

My child follow the light

no idea what were going to be

The hooded guy raised the big knife

but the man shouted !

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life

knees fell down, very astounded

The light filled the place

the man flew up on heaven

the other fell on the blaze

it's like a separation of white doves and raven

the light from sun covers the morning

finally I woke up and pray on my bed

then give thanks for having life which everlasting

I dreamed about  Jesus, who's blood was shed

Why Worry

There are times we keep on questioning
For all trials that we face in life
There are times we keep on complaining
For what challenge we have in life


Have you ever ask yourself
If you make a list of all blessings
thousand of papers are not enough
why worry when you have your knees


Instead of facing your hands
make it appear to each other
and you'll see works of His hands
to reach you and place you in better

The Viper

They are shouting your name

You sing through the fame

They choose to be Insane

Deceiver! who invites to do the same

They are crazy singing your songs

Without any doubts behind bursting wrongs

Popularity and modernization drive the throngs   

The gender next man and woman longs

Your mocking songs, yet they’re enticed

Followers now need to be chastised

You the viper in disguise  

Will be cursed and punished by our Christ

The Bridge

In the beginning God created the heaven and earth

the land, the sea and the desert

How mighty  God you are

You made fowls , beasts and your masterpiece

The people fell to sin by the deceiver

the reason of separation from the Maker

But Your great love still there

You sent your only son for them

Jesus is His name

He healed the blind, the leper even the lame

He let the dead rise again

and casted out devils from suffering men

The time came when He's betrayed 

from the garden of Gethsemane where He prayed

He caught by the unmerciful soldiers

and gave to the devilish rulers

Shouting..screaming

crucify him! crucify him!

until the judge washed his hands

and gave to the people the command

Jesus nailed on the cross

just to pay your debts and find the lost

He suffered for our sins

for you to redeem and cleanse 

The two distant places have now the connection

for the sinners to have the salvation

Let's take his way, a path to God,

the bridge over the mad

Forget not His Faithfulness

We’re happy to have things we consider blessing

We praise and worship, we give thanks for everything

But what if the shower do not fall for a long time

No shelter, no food to dine

You feel alone, you’re in distress

Will you love Him even all are mess

You started to hate Him and forgot His goodness

Your life is now miserable and hope vanishes

My friend, you forgot what the scripture says

In everything give thanks

even great storm came to Job

He didn’t fear, nor lament, no reason to sigh and sob

Good things and bad things

keep serving even without blessings

Forget not his promises

And forget not His faithfulness

Set Affection on things Above

People exalt you with your popularity

You've wealth untold, you’re abiding in money

You love those things worldly

My friend all are in vanity

Set your affection on things above

Remember upright is for God

The great treasure is  His love

Your life is nothing without God

You want to have power

You want to build the highest tower

You want to live with gold eternally

My friend the fire waits for your life's eternity

Maybe we are not aware

Abiding God is abiding heaven

People won’t believe yet do not care

We don’t want you to be forsaken
