From our childhood, our parents taught us many things

Being honest/truthful, no lying, no cheating/deceit…

Encouraging us at every little step

Instilling in us the values of humanity and humility

---

However as we move on in life

We come to realize that things

Are more complex than they seem

Society has its own rules and systems

---

Conceitedness, cunningness, distrustfulness, corruption

All being part of it

Still, they do not represent who we all truly are…

Then how can we rise above it?

---

The seeds of

Love, empathy, compassion, resilience and patience

Are all waiting to blossom

The most important to remember being

To stay true to yourself

 

 

 

Trying to figure out what to do next

Trying to figure out the right path

To help you bring a step closer to what is called “normal”

But, what is normal?

---

It has a different meaning for everyone

However, many are still trying to fit into the social norms

Have already searched above and beyond

In all directions and venues possible

---

But nothing seems to make sense

Just a blurry vision

Still trying to figure out your worth

But hey, did not give that right to anyone

---

No one but you know yourself better

No one but you can determine your own worth

As you come to realize

You had the answers all along…

 

 

 

Walking in nature

Seeing the ripples in the water

Brings a sense of calmness

In our hectic lives

---

Feeling the fine, cool breeze

Run through our hair

Listening to the leaves

As one falls here and there

---

The birds keep humming away

Filled with laughter of kids play

Hearing the swings sway

Reminding us of the good old days

 

 

The destination may not be easy to reach

The choices may not be easy to make

However, just remember…

Enjoy the journey you have embarked on

Make each struggle count

Most importantly, don’t forget to have fun with them

As each little step taken in that direction

Will make everything worth it

You can do it!
