For some its days gone,
Nothing further to dwell on
For others a mere memory,
Something that’s now known to
them as history
As I sit back and reminisce
Many memories that are so bliss
While others hurtful; I choose
to dismiss
Here’s why 2012 wasn’t just an
ordinary year for me
It’s amazing how we ignore
life’s little pleasures,
And look for nothing but
gigantic treasures.
One thing I’m walking forward
with
Isn’t just hearsay or a
generation myth,
But an understanding of true appreciation.
Many a time we are blind
By the kingdoms and empires we
set in our mind.
Indeed it is right and just to
have aspirations and dreams defined
But that shouldn’t confide us
to assume and/or ignore the little angels along the path we may find.
I learned that along the path
of life it is when we appreciate the little things
That we can truly enjoy and dance
to the sweet music that our effort brings.
Over time I came to query education,
I was seeking to know its true
translation.
Education is my true foundation
It is the uplifting medium of
our generation.
Though powerful and our
greatest gift, not all understand its true meaning
For some it’s their ticket to a
luxurious life all convening
For others just a tag to their
names for peers to fathom and never to demean.
But one thing we all need to
ponder on
What is the true meaning of our
education?
Best we grasp our hand around
it before it’s too late and long gone
Use it as your tool as you
climb the bridge and don’t forget in this game, you’re not the only pawn.
~Education is Knowledge.
Knowledge is wisdom~
Beyond any foundation is family; the one aspect that keeps me
ground,
We all go through trials and
tribulations that leave us frowned
Constant feeling of muck or as
if being drowned
But through ashes and clouds,
family always comes around.
Each day I rise, I am grateful
for my family that I am blessed with. I am grateful for each friend.
Because no man is an island
Neither can he choose or
command
Without you I wouldn’t be who I
am, I wouldn’t have a stand.
As I draw to a close
I walk away knowing:
To forgive is to let yourself learn
and grow from a situation – Forgive when wronged but don’t forget the lesson
learnt.
To smile is to share life with
a stranger and add sunshine to the world -
A smile goes a long way.
Do things for your satisfaction
not for the acknowledgement of the crowd.
Be yourself and appreciate
where you are, because even those who are ahead have stories to tell.
Too many expectations of others
is a platter of disappointments to you – even a jump rope has a limit
Education is a key but this key
can unlock many doors. Be wise as your rise.
Family bonds grow stronger day
by day – never forget to appreciate them while you still can.
Yesterday is the history I
reminisce
Today is the life I chose to
live
Tomorrow is the future I dream to see
I am captain of this flight.
