As Year Ends

As year ends....... December 31, 2011 It is an opportune time for us to pause a while for reflection: Are we blessed? Are we grateful of so many gifts that God has given to us? The gift of life, the health, and of so many things we have? So we should be thankful if not, be contented, of what we have but if we concentrate on what we don’t have, we realize that we will never ever have enough. Life is an undying cycle, it’s a battle of survival, if we quit then we’re a loser; if we fall, we should stand up. If we keep on complaining and whining about the miseries of our life nothing will happen. Life is too short, so don’t deal so much with its negativity. Just be happy and be contented with whatever life brings us. It’s not bad to dream to live a better life, but to focus on dreaming to live the life we love often leads us to frustration. But learning to love the life we live brings peace and genuine happiness.

It's time to straightened things, if there are things we regret like words we wish had gone unsaid or beginnings that had bitter endings, the opportunities and chances we threw away, roads that we’re traversing should have never taken, signs we overlooked and didn’t see, and still hearts were aching because we hurt needlessly. Don't miss the chances, may be there are relationships and wounds we could still mend and reestablished, though the past can’t be changed but it could be improved if poorly done with hope not to experience it again. What we really do is be thankful for every changes we have, for every break in our hearts and for every scars, gladly pages in our lives were turned even if bridges were burned….. because of these, we learned!

The Essence of My Being ...(A note from a mother)

I know you need my warm touch,
Though I'm away it's yours so attached,
I oblige you need my tender kiss,
No care can equal a maternal embrace.
When my world seems dark,
Your smile made my life very well stark,
My heart cries but pretentious to not shock.

I watch you grow every moment my heart glow,
My turn to smile when you present a show,
Now I see you in the abyss of dreams,
Sometimes stopped by nightmares and screams,
When you stumble, fall and despair,
Felt crushed I complained it's so unfair.
Courage not develop by just being happy everyday,
But by surviving trials and facing any & all adversity.

I am happy when time change & you grow old,
At times sad, made me cry, you have your own world,
It's my desire that you live what's an ideal,
But environment, friends taught otherwise real,
Am your mother wishes to impose her will,
May not be proper no matter beautiful the plan still
Not my world, but hope everything's right & all is well.

The world seems incomplete without you,
You've perceived it's intolerable to leave you,
If I indulge for naught, pretense and frivolity,
In many ways the situation explains it anyway,
I regret if in your life I was once away,
With my words, good deeds and with great ends,
All I need is understanding, broken heart mends,
What I wanted is to be with you forever....
But you like to live with me young as ever,
Nostalgia! never been forgotten you in my life...

NEVER!
