For the friends I have met and still have this year, this is my souvenir
If ever I am forced to be away from you, I won’t hold back that tear
Your kind words have mostly lifted me up as an excited deer
Thanks for all the valuable time you’ve spent with me here
Thank you for making this a memorable and eventful year
Sadly some friendships have faded, some have become clear
But I decide to end the year with a lot of energy and cheer
For I’ve also had someone special to me who’s very dear
I’ve tried my best to be myself, to be always nice and sincere
I write poetry, or so I think…it’s for release not really my career
Professionally, i proudly graduated as a managerial hotelier
My life isn’t really planned out; to me it’s a little unclear
Though with God’s Grace I’ll move forward without fear
I now approach life openly and faithfully in an unfamiliar frontier
If I’ve learned something in life, it’s to learn to persevere
PS:
Living in the parameters of time, we enumerate our lives as an entirety of perceiving the earth make its comprehensive revolution encircling the sun…we live through life having astronomical aspirations and seeking to pull off substantial success. We strive to scale the ladders of the social order to realize standards fed to us by the education system, peers, parents, blood relations and spouses…we forget to live. We overlook the nature call to harmonize with life, we forget to love, forgive and give.
This holiday season, to a larger extent of us it’s Christmas and to others it’s just any other holiday. Whatever it is to you, make a life feel good to be alive…not with material fondness, but compassionate affection. Overlook your ‘class’, or your standards, or who’s watching…help that old man cross the road, smile at that dirty kid by the roadside, pull some positivity out of someone, honor that promise you made, make up with that person you fell out with, let the hate go, the malice, the despise and past grudges…Love a little more this Christmas.
Pray to God for the reality that you are just human and He is God. Live for what is good, right and honorable to God.
