Poem
IN GRASPING LIFE'S MEANING Twenty-nine years and thirty six days I am able to savor the gift of life but oftentimes I ask, Have I truly grasp, what life's mean? I am curious. I want to learn. I am to absorb for life is a door of discoveries... Green leaves rustling a tangent sound o'er the bush of finite delight or the swift sways of the winds-- somehow, the sounds tell: I am not alone. Beneath the earth a seed can grow nurtured by hands, sprinkled daily with love later flowers may bloom and glow Somehow, the sight shows me of beauty. Lured, one day I picked it up and put it near my nose uplifting my spirit, tickling the air but imperceptibly it withers, still I held it best and with its last life brought my soul at length. Success or failure are real, but am not scared to go on for life is an opportunity for growth and maturity. As I age, becoming exposed, tried and molded by trials that rain to my path, my views changed and matured as how I face to react, counteract situations... Seeing the world as of today where competition and survival is spelled harder pushing each one and for some it's draining, too challenging that some even considered death as the best solution. I am grateful that I am made because of love though my experiences taste are not all sugar Some are sour, bitter but wow they all taught me and let me appreciate: life is beautiful. I am only given years to live, the choice to be productive is within me, for life itself is a gift of possibilities. Upon my hands lies the chance of having less or having more dependent all to the decisions and actions, I pursue to work on... Being all aware that this life is not only given for me to live it alone but also to be a channel of a better life(or otherwise) to someone else's life... Society and natural ageing may cause some changes in me but I must embrace, accept it, use it to bring forth the essence of living and not merely existing... _________________________________________________________ 4:55 pm, September 20, 2015
