Laking tuwa ng magulang mo

Noong isilang ka sa mundong ito

Laking tuwa ng magulang mo

At ang kamay nila ang iyong ilaw

At ang nanay at tatay mo'y

Di malaman ang gagawin

Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo

At sa gabi'y napupuyat ang iyong nanay

Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo

At sa umaga nama'y kalong ka

Ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa iyo

Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na

Nais mo'y maging malaya

Di man sila payag

Walang magagawa

Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago

Naging matigas ang iyong ulo

At ang payo nila'y sinuway mo

Di mo man lang inisip na

Ang kanilang ginagawa'y para sa iyo

Pagkat ang nais mo'y

Masunod ang layaw mo

Di mo sila pinapansin

Nagdaan pa ang mga araw

At ang landas mo'y naligaw

Ikaw ay nalulong sa masamang bisyo

At ang una mong nilapitan

Ang iyong inang lumuluha

At ang tanong,"anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan"

At ang iyong mata'y biglang lumuha ng di mo napapansin

Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y

Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

When you were born into this world

Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled

Dream come true

The answer to their prayers

You were to them a special child

Gave 'em joy every time you smiled

Each time you cried

They're at your side to care

Child, you don't know

You'll never know how far they'd go

To give you all their love can give

To see you through and God it's true

They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

How many seasons came and went

So many years have now been spent

For time ran fast

And now at last you're strong

Now what has gotten over you

You seem to hate your parents too

Do speak out your mind

Why do you find them wrong

Child you don't know

You'll never know how far they'd go

To give you all their love can give

To see you through and God it's true

They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

And now your path has gone astray

Child you ain't sure what to do or say

You're so alone

No friends are on your side

And child you now break down in tears

Let them drive away your fears

Where must you go

Their arms stay open wide

Child you don't know

You'll never know how far they'd go

To give you all their love can give

To see you through and God it's true

They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

Child you don't know

You'll never know how far they'd go

To give you all their love can give

To see you through and God it's true

They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

~ Anak/Child by Freddie Aguilar

My son is going to be three years old soon. I got him when he was only two months old. Yes, he is adopted and he is very special.

When I got him, his name was baby but I named him Al E Baba, mainly because he was very intelligent like Albert Einstein and he was very black like Ba Ba Black Sheep.

He is very intelligent is just full of unconditional love, the amount of love he gives out is as much as as my best friend, God.

Yah, it seems God created certain beings just to be so filled with love that there is just so much abundance of it.

I have always loved the song above, but unlike the child in the song above, Al E is very grateful and we are very grateful to have him.

My son unfortunately will not live as long as me. I am now 42 going on 43 and it would be a wonderful thing from God if my son lived half that age.

But one thing I know is that he will have a fantastic life, with me and wifey.

He will always be our first and currently only son.

And as much as he loves me, I love him.

He has also been writing a blog, although not as often as me.

He also has a Facebook page which he has unfortunately not updated in a long time.

If you already do not have a clue who my son is, check out his blog by clicking any of the various links that I have splattered on this blog posting. He does not write that often but do check out his blog sometime.

Al E my son, my furry little boy, I love you and I thank you. I am sorry and Please forgive me for anything.

Take care and be well.
