Sinangag
Love is the whole thing ...we are only pieces—-
Rumi
Sinangag
...breakfast in Manila
All we wake up for
All we smile for we repeat
All blissful we are
The good life we reminisce
The morning sun a new day
O Lord thank you for this
The food we are about to receive
Pass the sinangag please thank you
More spring flowers around your garden
Sweet smell of freshness in the air
Of morning drizzle of coffee brewed bold
Itlog na pula queso de bola tuyo*
Daing tapa estrallados kamatis asin**
With warm grandmother’s pan de sal rolls and kesong puti***
The smiles in our faces little stories we share
All we wake up for
All we smile for we repeat
All blissful we are
The good life we reminisce
The morning sun a new day
Mom dad siblings together
Mornings of love always there
All we wake up for
All we smile for we repeat
All blissful we are
Breakfast in Manila... ah
Happy sibling memories
