Before I realize it, I miss you
Whom I grew up happily with
Since I was as young as seven.

I am left with memories of you
In God we shared same faith
May you find peace in heaven.

Here I am
Missing every piece
Of moments
Had brought me peace.

There you are
Continue to grow
To another year
Anticipations follow.

I miss you.

Yesterday I was a child
Pure soul full of innocence
Clueless of kind and wild
Only thought of happiness.

As I learned of the laughter
Voice came out as I spoke
Life was not easy as I grew older
Cried when the heart broke.

People from all walks of life
Taught me life lessons today
Wounds from an invisible knife
Left with pain did not go away.

I learned to spread wings and fly
Turned scars into strongest shield
Ready to face come what may
Life is but the biggest battlefield.

Tomorrow when I turn thirty
I hope to grow better than today
Holding on to my faith in humanity
Be kind to everyone in every way.

Time waits for no one.
It passes by like wind and
Flows through like water.
Once time has gone,
Neither will it wait for anyone
Nor repeat itself forever.
Hence waste none,
Future we fret not having
Sacrifice ourselves over.

I used to seek for happiness by hoping to be surrounded by people who can make me smile that I did not realize it made me had expectations.

I reflected on life and thought that instead of seeking happiness only for myself, I could instead create happy moments and draw an upward curve on someone's face or maybe more. My motto in life is "A smile a day, takes negativity away". Our effort may not be able to change everyone's life, but it may change someone's world.

You can see happiness when it is small such as in shapes of gifts, but true happiness that can be shared cannot be seen because it is too big - it can only be felt by heart. ♥

I woke up with an aching heart
Pillow case damped from tears
Tried to sink in words from you
That day you left and gone away
I wandered lost without direction.

It felt like yesterday was an art
The way you smile to your ears
Like painted clouds on the sky so blue
Sillily I pretended like I was okay
Yet I silently longed for your attention.

Suddenly we heard of words that cut
Deep into our feelings that yearns
For a moment being in love so true
I desperately prayed you would stay
That the illness was just an imagination.

Little efforts we both had put
On this flower that bloomed for years
Ended with a silent goodbye from you
Petals fell like my teardrops I ran away
I wasn't ready to forget us and move on.

I shed tears flipping through our booklet
Contained the sweetest dreams of ours
As I began accepting and find closure
I promised to be strong come what may
Until some day we shall meet in heaven.

Never say or think
you're not pretty.
If you're feeling lost
in darkness,
be your own light
and find your way.

Deep in your soul
there is beauty.
Embrace your scars
and imperfections,
Turn them into strength
come what may.

Take pride in your
attitude and dignity.
Love yourself sincerely
without conditions,
You're already beautiful
every single day.
