Treasure You

Yes you are old
my dearest Uncle..
and yes you're German
and we're Filipinos..

there's a barrier between us
but we don't allow it to stop us,
we are still able to show concern
we are able to understand..

we want to treasure you
here in our own land
for we know..
we know your fear
you're afraid to go
to a home for the old..

we know you have no children
and you're old now
you've shown us how to love
in your own language
yes we know the kindness of your soul
we love you..

we want to take care of you
in our homeland
where you will be taken cared of
like the special person that you are..

we will treat you as our second father
we will show you the same kindness
we will be here for you always
we will treasure you

we don't want you to go
to a home for the old
we know you don't want to go there
we know..

so we welcome you in the Philippines
here you will be loved
even when you're old..
we love you dearest Uncle..

so come home now,
we'll be waiting for you..
arrange your papers
and fly here,
we promise to treasure you..
