She is Zeny to many but simply Maman to us family
A queen she truly is, especially to Xabi, Gabi and Dani.
Clad almost always in simple yet regal white
But always adorned with jewelry, sparkling and bright!
Her New Manila palace, she rules with a strong hand
Her “Inday!” summons leaves no doubt who’s in command
She’s been a good wife to a gentle and caring man named Pete
Together raising six good children, that’s certainly a feat!
To her many grandchildren, she is the paragon of discipline
"Be sure to leave the table, your plate empty and clean!"
A thoughtful and loyal friend to her circle, she is
She bends herself backward, just to help, just to please.
Fervently devoted to the Lord ever since she was reborn
She tries to share God’s blessings with the needy and forlorn.
She is indeed a queen, and like the Old Testament’s Ruth
Her mission is to bring all of us closer to the Truth
So happy birthday, and we all love you, our dearest Maman
Our prayer is that you forever remain happy, healthy and strong.
Maman Zeny is Zenaida H. Tengco, Gabi's maternal great grandmother. She turned 79 last 23 December.
