Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko'y tala
Ang tanod ko'y bituin
Sa piling ni Nanay
Langit ang buhay
Puso kong may dusa
Sabik sa ugoy ng duyan mo Inay
Sana narito ka Inay
“Sa Ugoy ng Duyan” - Lyrics by Levi Celerio, Music by Lucio San Pedro,

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother,
What would I be?
“Que Sera, Sera”- Lyrics by Jay Livingston, Music by Ray Evans

Once upon a time a little girl was born with a birth defect so severe, no less than four major operations were necessary for her to have a chance to grow normally. After those four operations, she was to undergo another three, after four years. The birth defect is known as VACTERL association, which is a group of birth defects that appear together in children of diabetic mothers or children born with chromosomal defects. She had the latter.
