My Youth

Sitting alone under a Takamaka tree I’m just gazing at something I’m thinking about my childhood And about my future I’m thinking how my life Would be tomorrow Will my life be more wonderful like today? Will I still past my past laughing And sharing jokes With my friends By looking through the sea My minds are telling me something Do you what? Yes, it is about my youth About my future About my views About my fantasies Fighting for me to become What I want to be By looking at the past How my life was until today Yesterday has already die Today is here And tomorrow will it come or not Deep in my heart I know If I try hard I will succeed From now on all I need is Self-confident, hope, faith and courage Yes, that’s all I need to lead me to my destiny

It does take a lot of courage to face the future that is filled with uncertainty. Dreams about our past can fill us with nostalgia but also provide insight on how to make the future better. Well done, Shirley! Best wishes, Carolyn
