She came to her island by the sea,
This time to be a lovely bride,
She is back to fill a long lost dream,
That failed to grow during her early teen.
It was many, many years ago on the bay,
When she met her groom that day,
She was then fifteen barely a lady,
Growing on this island by the sea....
But aspirations flew her over oceans away,
Long, long ago from her island by the sea,
She moved to the west leaving the east,
To achieve what she wanted to be.
Years after the year she became a young lady,
She found a love from a man who is free, ,
They toiled their life and built a family,
Away from home on the island on the bay....
As their love grew people would envy,
How barriers were crossed along the way,
Feelings and sweet words that they convey,
Nourished their mornings and the rest of the day.
Then it happened many, many years ago,
In her world that was lovely place she knew,
When she laid still one quiet night,
He dashed away from the very bright light....
She traveled back to her island by the sea,
To lift her sadness and to refresh her memory,
When a chance encounter one bright sunny day,
She met the boy who was on the bay.
Ever since then he extended his hands,
He liked her back to her little island,
To be with her became his life’s yearning.
Ignited by the spark of the second beginning....
Ever since that encounter, she felt so well,
That she decided to make a lifetime farewell,
To leave the country she spent many years,
To come and live on her island that is dear.
One day in April with the tingling of a bell,
Walks the bride sheathed by a flimsy white veil,
Her man by her side and at last it will be,
Their celebration on her island by the sea....
I met Claudia, not her real name, through the Pang.org and she became my friend. She was born on an island by the China Sea, on the western tip of Pangasinan but moved to Europe after graduation from high school. This is her story--A.G.
