I have to pay my personal tribute to the Ex-Philippine President Cory Aquino. Right now, I am watching live Philippine TV {HERE}. So, I will continue my blog hopping tomorrow okay?
By: Emily Dickinson
Death sets a thing significant
The eye had hurried by,
Except a perished creature
Entreat us tenderly
To ponder little workmanships
In crayon or in wool,
With "This was last her fingers did,"
Industrious until
The thimble weighed too heavy,
The stitches stopped themselves,
And then 't was put among the dust
Upon the closet shelves.
A book I have, a friend gave,
Whose pencil, here and there,
Had notched the place that pleased him, --
At rest his fingers are.
Now, when I read, I read not,
For interrupting tears
Obliterate the etchings
Too costly for repairs.
REST IN PEACE Madam.
President Cory Aquino was not just a former President to the Philippines but a mother to the nation. I believe that the reason God allowed her to die in a dramatic fashion is to compel Filipinos to follow her example. She was much beloved by the nation not because of her attributes but because she mirrored the character and heart of God for the Filipino people. The Scriptures declare Blessed is the nation whos God is the Lord. She taught by example you beloved nation to pray and be devoted to God. May Filipinos be inspired to know that one person can change a nation and work towards the Philippines being a spiritual blessing to Asia and the world.
