Far Away

I guess it’s not easy at first to experience adjustment when one gets uprooted like in any other country. I first learned the language, immersed in life experiences; with cultural differences, I came along to blend. With my own companions living together at home that through prayers I was able to deal with them. Certainly, I miss my loved ones in times that I’d be alone like in my bed at night where I’d utter ‘far away.’ Yet the grace of strength to cope with homesickness made me keep going made me keep in the game. Though leagues and latitudes may be the distance from us but the thought, the heart enabled me to transcend them. Because of love and affection, I was able to make sacrifice; it’s the meaning I wanted to emerge in the horizon. Though we’re far away, I could see beyond so far, those mem’ries of yesteryears – a treasure-trove to understand. I’d always say no matter what, it’s still my love to sacrifice for your sake oh my God! the source of all my love. So far away, it doesn’t matter, as long as there’s love within this would shape the future a portrait of our revelation.
