A Lovely Poem for Cory Aquino from her late Husband

A decades ago, the late national hero Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino wrote a lovely poem for his lovely wife, former president Corazon "Cory" Aquino. The poem became a song in 1989, when the composer and song writer Jose Mari Chan set the piece into music and included it to his album, "Constant change".






Here's the Lovely Poem in titled of:

" I Have Fallen In Love With The Same Woman Three Times"

"I have fallen in love
with the same woman three times;
In a day spanning 19 years
of tearful joys and joyful tears.

I loved her first when she was young,
enchanting and vibrant, eternally new.
She was brilliant, fragrant,
and cool as the morning dew.

I fell in love with her the second time;
when first she bore her child and mine
always by my side, the source of my strength,
helping to turn the tide.

But there were candles to burn
the world was my concern;
while our home was her domain.
and the people were mine
while the children were hers to maintain;

So it was in those eighteen years and a day.
’till I was detained; forced in prison to stay.

Suddenly she’s our sole support;
source of comfort,
our wellspring of Hope.
on her shoulders felt the burden of Life.

I fell in love again,
with the same woman the third time.
Looming from the battle,
her courage will never fade

Amidst the hardships she has remained,
undaunted and unafraid.
she is calm and composed,
she is God’s lovely maid.

Singer Christian Bautista is the only singer who have given a chance to record on his own version of this song for the new generation.

Bautista said, "This is actually Jose Marie Chan's. They want me to record a new version for the new generation. And for that to happen, it's really an honor for me. Maybe I'm just an instrument for the past great songs that already made".
