Toti's Favourites
BROTHER
by Malachi Goldson
My brothers are a reflection of me without the mistakes
They reap the rewards for the decisions I make
I teach them right from every wrong step I take
I always say use me as the platform to reach the places I couldn’t make
From bunkbed debates to sharing plates
Blood is one of many ways that we relate
I look at them and see myself at different stages of life
I understand my importance as they follow in my lead and not ask why
Through the straight roads, turns and bends
I want them to make their own path and we all meet at the end
I defend and always attend
I commend never condescend
To see them ascend is all I intend
Dictionaries can’t explain how they mean to me
Fall asleep downstairs and I carry them up to bed no surprise that life with them is like a dream to me.
Football in the garden got messy, but the memory is still so clean to me
I’m right behind so at no point will they ever be needing me
I’ve got their back like they could see it
They’re like two angels on my shoulders keeping my head straight
And up when it falls
Because I’m up when they call
I could paint a picture of my love
But I’d rather do it old school
Like the days at nannies house
And write it on the wall
MATERNAL MAJESTY
by Reece Brown
In vast echoes, greatness unfurls,
Beyond the bounds of owned realms.
Mother's Day, a tribute to birth,
True empires lie in her boundless worth.
Majestic heights, not marked by deeds,
Greatness whispers in selfless seeds.
In the embrace of a mother's sway,
Love blooms, an eternal bouquet.
DECISIONS
by Ria Ince
Decide to walk with God and you will go to the place
That satisfies only your desires
Be led by God through boundless, inimitable faith
That fulfils all that your soul and mind requires
What we don’t understand
And to many people I have told
Wanting is selfish, and wanting is impulsive
Where is our discipline? Is it dominated by our impulsivity?
Let us find depth in our desires
Want those who feed our souls
Who stimulate our passion but take our promiscuity
We’re all alone in this together
But when it comes to the power that we have in our ministry
And the faith that we put in God
Our decisions will endure the Art of Love
And they say some of the best ones
Are often the hardest.

EMBRACE THE SPIRIT.
by Tomas Smith
In the heart of islands, where Kalabaw roams,
A brand emerges, weaving dreams into homes.
Kalabaw Global, where culture finds its voice,
In threads of heritage, it proudly rejoices.
In vibrant hues of sunset’s embrace,
Threads of Filipino soul, woven with grace.
From bustling streets to tranquil shores,
Kalabaw Global echoes traditions, restores.
Embrace the spirit, grab life by the horns,
In every stitch, a story adorns.
With each design, a tale unfolds,
Of resilience and beauty, as history moulds.
From rice terraces to bustling Manila streets,
Kalabaw Global’s essence beats.
In every fabric, the Filipino spirit thrives,
A celebration of culture that forever drives.
So wear with pride, let the world see,
Kalabaw Global, where hearts run free.
Embrace the spirit, in every thread,
Philippine culture, forever spread.
FAMILY
by Diesel Martin-Hall
Family is one of life's greatest treasures
And is the first memory one will remember
Family endures your good and bad times
A place where you can put your hand on your heart and call it, Home.
Family does not mean you have to be bonded by blood.
Toti and Jonny are people who I will always love.
March is the time to celebrate their achievements and the impact they have made.
An early happy birthday is what they need to hopefully make their day.
upthegreatness is full of love, compassion, and joy
Key components that solidify an everlasting
Family.
