gone too soon

Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon
Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon
Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon
Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon
Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon
Born To Amuse,
To Inspire,
To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon
Gone Too Soon

yesterday, july 30, 2009, my tita ester passed away around 4:30 in the afternoon. i went home yesterday that's when i learned about it. the whole family were getting ready to go to baisa. but not all were allowed to go. kids will stay home. thus, i was left out because my father said so, and because of my younger sister. i think i'm the only teen whose been left at home. my cousins around my age went with the adults. those who left were not sure when to comeback, my parents packed clothes. baisa was 3 hours drive from home, includes traffic and ofcourse the driver should be my tito boyong or else it is a 5 hours drive.
this morning, parents were already back home. they say their was no place to stay and its raining. some of the perks left to stay in baisa.
on the news this morning was former president cory aquino died this dawn. so basically, the whole t.v networks were full of this news, flashbacks of her life and leadership.
