Alaminos
Saturday, October 1st, 2005Everything is different when I’m with you. I remember climbing your hills to see the whole of Laguna; and watching the sun set against the backdrop of Makiling. The stars are brighter; the air cleaner; and the rain smells like perfume blessings on my porch.
My feet are firmly planted on you. My heart beats faster knowing that my destination is you. I breathe more easily; smile more readily; just thinking about family gatherings and growing up memories.
I’ve walked through your plaza at all hours of the day and night. I’ve forever been in love with your trees, your church and the history that joins you and my family. My roots are your roots; my home, yours too. Neither a war nor any of the passing storms removed me from you.
There can only be one Alaminos in my heart…and that will always be you.
