Each passing day, as I grow older
In each passing moment, I begin to realize
I’m making and surpassing crossroads of life
The crossings….upon looking back
Like scenes, flashed before my mind
Bringing me back …not only the memories
But the vividness of feelings
Nostalgia…….the mixed emotions
The happiness…the joy of youth…the satisfaction… the pains…
The longings…the regrets
Viewing my life before my mind
Made me see and realized my strengths…
And my weaknesses
Realizing that at this stage of my life
I can’t undo what is done
Can’t regain the lost youth
But instead, the wisdom to know…”the counsel of years”
Counting my blessings…and my losses
My dreams and fantasies
My victories and failures
Weighing the ups and downs of life
The losses I gain as I go along
The wisdom which only years of experience can teach
And the lessons that only strong can learn
Because they realized their shortcomings
But most of all….the blessings that only faith can bring
I have seen the sunrise and the life at its zenith
And now… at midday, the sun in my life still ablaze
Like the faith within my heart
The hope, the faraway dreams that only chosen ones can have
I will keep and nurture
Until the sunset…or my existence ends
