What is your dream my child?
where do you yearn to go?
who do you want to walk with?
Are you walking towards heaven or are you lost?
How can I help you to find peace...
When will you be satisfied?
If you died today, would you be confident in your salvation?
Through all the fires of hell, I have tested you in the flames..
purified you in battle with the evil monsters of this earth
the devil has called you, yet you still reach for me
when you fall in desperation and hatred and guilt
did you reach out to me and ask me for forgiveness
Why did you doubt my love? I see my image in your face.
Yours is a life I have guaranteed to be full of hope.
I baptized you in the holy spirit.
Fed you and clothed you, and gave you a warm place to live.
I sent people to you to teach you and love you.
So did you achieve your dreams, or did you blame your failures on others?
Take responsibility for your life, and know that
I have set aside a holy path for you to walk.
Like the giant redwood forest covering you from the burning heat of the sun.
This is the eve of my death, and in two days I will rise to heaven
if you desire me to answer your prayers, then pray for the next three days
and all will be given unto you my child. For I love you as my love my own son.
This poem was written on good friday 2008, Sensei Ronald Panlilio
