One Day, Someday
One day, I’ll get on a tide,
One day I’ll dive, one day I’ll fly.
One day I’ll cross that , mountain too high,
On which so many try, but few pass by.
No matter how roads will be rough,
No matter if path exists or not,
I’ll make my own, however tough ;
‘coz I've got only shot , don’t wanna waste it a lot.
For i fall every time , I’ll wear a scar,
On skin, on heart , I’ll bring myself to par,
That would remind me of people I’ve crossed ,
Of way I’ve passed, of things I’ve lost….
Doesn't matter I win or lose,
It’s my life I can let go, can’t tighten the hose,
For everything I do, everything I learn,
Something’s swept away and some just burned.
Failures ,“bothers” success makes proud,
Sometimes down to earth; sometimes on cloud,
It all adds up to my journey, for all I want is to live;
Some happiness to share, a joy to give.
Some may call it an attitude;
Some may say I’m ambitious.
For me, it’s kinda gratitude,
Gotta protect it, it’s precious.
Sometimes wonder over future, don’t ponder over past.
Hoping for best and “dreams” that won’t last.
Gotta few, “milestones” on my list,
Had to clear the view, just across the mist.
Hope I’ll have that ONE DAY,
Hope I’ll be there SOMEDAY……….
