Thank You

Thank you for doing the show, thank you when I had no place to go, thank you for opening up the door, when I have made all the sacrifice and evening has breathe the final breath and I stumble upon the symbol of death; thank you for your patience when I keep asking for more, thank you for the courage you share when the residue washed up on the shore and the mountain keep hiding the sun, thank you. Daybreak like lightening running through the street and the excitement disrupted my heartbeat, vehicular traffic was moving in every direction and I couldn’t find a single hand to hold on, and the morning kept running like wild beast through the street. It is the same feeling you get when you stand at the cross wondering which direction to move in and the traffic keep pouring down like water on the ground creating a frenzy in the town and everything start happening all at once in the busy street. Pedestrians’ keeps moving from place to place looking for the early morning bargain and the wilderness in front of me suddenly disappeared and the market appears, sellers and buyers screaming above their voices everyone trying to get the best bargain before the price increases. Thank you for giving me a seat at the table when I don’t have a good pair of shoe, thank you for keeping the roof over my head when everyone around me is dead, thank you for giving me a job in the middle of nowhere, when destiny had nothing to spare, thank you for keeping me here so that my life could be spared. I kept moving around the market looking at the goods, hoping that someone could get me something good and just as I thought of it, a miracle rise up out of the ground and take me to the place I want to go and my long awaited dream finally came true Thank you. The sun will keep shining and the moon and the stars will spread its lights at night and mankind will finally see the light. Thank you.
