Happy Birthday, Sister Marissa

A song for our one and only Sor Marissa Asuncion

(Verse 1)

On this special day, we sing with joy,

For Sister Marissa, our hearts employ.

A life of love and kindness, so bright,

Spreading God’s message, day and night.

(Chorus)

Happy birthday, Sister Marissa dear,

Your laughter and love, we hold so near.

For all your care and the joy you bring,

With love and gratitude, we sing.

(Verse 2)

You’ve kept our family, strong and true,

With every reunion, love shines through.

A beacon of hope, in times of strife,

You’ve blessed us all, with your light in life.

(Chorus)

Happy birthday, Sister Marissa dear,

Your laughter and love, we hold so near.

For all your care and the joy you bring,

With love and gratitude, we sing.

(Bridge)

In your gentle ways, we see God’s grace,

A precious soul, in every embrace.

We celebrate you, on this special day,

With hearts united, we all say:

(repeat Chorus)

Centennial Independence Day Celebration

That was June 12, 1998 when we had acted and sung like Katipuneros, Revolutionarios, Freedom Fighters in Zurich.

That was 26 years ago. I hope in this way to reconnect with those once young, creative and dynamic warriors and friends wherever they are by now. Hoping they will see this post of our program at that time in Kongresshaus, Zurich, Switzerland.
