Offers too good to be true

2025.4.10

Recently, for the first time, some one approached me
Suggested to put my poems on Facebook,
Where there is more viewers to read my poems.
He even promised to do all the work,
I just sit back and relax, enjoy the rewards being a poet.
I thanked him but declining his offer.
He went further by asking me to allow him,
To print a book with my poems.
Thank you. I heard your words,
Your kindness and your generosity.
Thank you for getting out of your way to help me.
As I posted before, "I have every thing,
Nothing was just plenty enough for me".
At the moment, I enjoyed Piano, swimming 
Travelling, embroidering and poems writing.
That was more than enough for me to enjoy in a day.
Today, I was lucky to do all that except travelling.
Two hours piano, one hour swimming,
30 minutes massage was extra,
Embroidery was done to commemorate
My late friend 6th death anniversary.
Last but not least, writing this poem to seal my day.
Can't believe it was not that long ago,
I was at the cemetery, attended his burial,
And now six years went pass.
Every year, I promised myself,
I would not visit him at his grave again,
But I could not resist. He was once a good friend.
I will close all chapters, 
Forget all the past, live a new life,
However long or short I got left,
I will enjoy to the fullest.
God be my witness and help me
To fullfil my simple dream.
I really deserve it.
