Moments beyond time
Once I wished to become older,
Now I have become an adult.
The days I once loved have faded,
And turned into hardworking days.
The days I dreamed of enjoying
Have changed — now I greet my customers by saying, “Hi.”
The poor want to become rich,
The rich seek privacy.
Everyone is running like a blind horse for a reason.
We may all reach our destination,
But no one notices that we lost our peace along the way.
Once, people went on vacation to their parents’ home,
Now those vacations have become bonus days.
Blossoming flowers protect their buds from being plucked.
In the same way, our parents continue working for us
Even after we grow up.
As a child, I thought everyone was happy and good.
Now I see the same innocence in my son’s eyes.
Life is not only about being happy;
It is also about how we make others happy.
Everyone loves their destination,
But fails to enjoy the journey.
