MY GRATITUDE & MY REQUEST

I am grateful for all I have,
And for where I am today.

We were many that started
But only a few of us are still standing.

There were goals I set but never achieved.
And likewise, goals I achieved but never set.

I take a look back with mixed feelings,
With a vote of thanks and a question of "why?"

GOD smiled at me and said "My dear child,
I know the thoughts of your heart.

Your hardwork are not yet paying the bills,
And the world is telling you to quit;

Many of your friends have gone far ahead of you,
And you wonder if your your future is bright or doomed;

I know your pains, struggles and shame.
But trust ME, today is your day.

- You will recover more blessings than you have actually lost.
- Your pains, struggles and shame will be remembered no more.
- Those who has gone ahead of you will come to the light of your dawning day.
- Your testimony will spread like wildfire to the four corners of the earth.
- Your children's children will benefit from your wealth.
- You will have peace within and without.

I AM the LORD your GOD."

MOVE ON

Back in the days...
When I was frail and young
I believed in every kind of lies
I day-dream and fantasize
Everything seem perfect and alright
I thought life is all a bed of roses
But when the table turned
And trusted friends were all gone
I realized I had been a fool all along
From that moment on...
I got a new life...
And a new dream...
And a new reality to pursue.
I decided to move on into the future
And never to look back anymore
Because my pains are hidden in the past
But my gains lay bare in the future
That is why I am moving on!
