I wasn’t gonna live my dreams
If it wasn’t for my folks’ support
Though the path I’m taking is uncommon
Passion will keep me going… I believed.
I wasn’t gonna review my past
If it wasn’t for my adorable students
Who made me see so much of me in them
And I wonder… if I could reverse the time, just to make things right.
I wasn’t gonna learn to forgive
If it wasn’t for all these years
That finally brought me to realize:
To err is human
I wasn’t gonna treasure friendship more (much more than ever)
If it wasn’t for my dearest buddies
Who sincerely behold the better side of me
amongst my imperfection and occasional clumsiness.
I wasn’t gonna scrutinize and improve myself
If it wasn’t for the time that passed
Which somehow reminds me that;
Wasting precious time on the ‘miscellaneous’… isn’t worth it.
I wasn’t gonna practice the joy of contentment
If it wasn’t for my splendid 24-year life
Provided by the most beloved family of mine
rapidly making me a better person, in and out.
*Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.*
