Paint Party Friday: Ang Aking Ina


Happy Paint Party Friday!  Here is the mother and child painting I was working on.  It started out like this...


I wrote part of a poem called Ang Aking Ina (My Mother) on the top right.  It reads...

Gaya rin ng iba, ang ina kong giliw
Ay inang mayumi't lubhang maramdamin,
Inang hindi yuko sa mga hilahil,
Inang mapagbata at siya kong virgen.

 Mayrong isang Diyos na kinikilala,
May isang dakilang pananampalataya,
Sa kanya ang madla'y kulay ng umaga,
Ang galit ay awa't sa poot ay tawa.

 Siya ang dakilang Batas sa tahanan,
Kamay na masipag, Kampana ng buhay,
Susi ng pag-ibig na kagalanggalang.

 Sa kanya ang lahat ay pawang mabuti,
Ang dukha't mayaman ay kapuripuri
Palibhasa'y inang may puso't pagkasi.

I was trying to translate it but there are parts I don't understand and neither does  Google translate!  Besides, I'm already late for the party!  Have you joined my giveaway?
