"Bakit sa Paglipas ng Panahon" Ni Mark Kaven Lazaro

Bakit ba sa paglipas ng panahon
Habang ang oras ay mayroong pagkakataon
Tila ba ang buhay’y labis na nababaon,
Kawalan ng pag-asa sa bawat araw, buwan at taon
Na parang punongkahoy na nauubusan ng dahon
Parang isang bangkang papel na nilalamon ng alon

Pansinin natin ang mga tao sa ngayon
Mga kabataang malungkot kapag wala o kulang ang baon
Nagdarabog, sumasagot kapag si nanay o tatay ay nangsasabon
Parang isang asong lobong mabangis na umaalulong
Mga kabataang malungkot 'pag wala sa kamay ang cellphone
Puro mensahe ng barkda, at ng kaibigang kadalasa’y jejemon

Pansinin natin ang mga tao sa ngayon
May mga taong inuubos at sinasayang ang pagkakataon
Magsaya, maglaro, makipaghuntahan hanggang sa maghapon
Lumabas tayo sa lansangan maging sa mga nayon
Pulos nakatungong ulo ang makikita, hinahanap ay Pokemon
Nakakalungkot,sa kabila nito di man lang hinanap ang Panginoon

Huwag nating hintaying dumating ang pagkabaon
Parang delubyo, unos, kaparusahang dinanas ni Paraon
Ligaya ang dulot sa una, hapis ang sinapit di naglaon
Bakit ba si Daniel, kahit sa yungib na puno ng leon
Laging tumatawag sa makapangyarihang Panginoon
Kaibigan gumising ka, manalangin at muling bumangon

If I Will Make a List

If I will make a list of  wrongs

All of the bad things I've done

Thousands of papers won't do

Because everyday I live 

The dirt is on my hands and lips

My heart is weak and tired

But Your grace is amazing

That helps me sore high

If I will make a list of blessings

All of the good things You've done

Paper as wide as the ocean won't do

Because everyday I live

You watch me from above

Lord you are my sword and my shield

You're the Light in darkness

You are the one who make a way

To save me from death and sin

Lord You're my Savior 

And You're my friend..

How many times I failed You

But how many times Your hands
reach me when I'm drowning from sin

You loved me.. You forgave me..

If I will make a list

Lord You're amazing..

So amazing..

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
