Where, When and Why…?
As a child,
And I dreamt and I believed it possible
I was sweet…:-)
Yes I was! My smile could melt a heart and I had a heart.
I gave. I forgave.
I was humble. But also had pride……
Yes pride.
Pride born of a job well done and needs no pat n the back – I felt gratified
Pride because I knew it in my “Noah” that I gave my all to a task and that’s good enough.
Not pride that feeds from vanity or plastic accolades.
I thought deep. I lived easy. But I dreamt too. And I dreamt big.
The size of my dreams was not to drive a big car or live in a mansion, but to touch many hearts.
My dreams were not to bring me recognition or make me an idol Naaah,
My dreams would inspire, encourage and motivate others that they too could make it.
My dreams would drive others to go the extra mile…
My dreams would make others leap with no limits!
Oooh! To dream again.
Tell me where did my dreams go?
When did pride and prejudice creep into my soul?
Why did my spirit go sour?
When did image become the plumbline of success?
When did I stop giving and forgiving?
Tell, When did I forgot how to laugh, How to cry? And
How to dance in the rain?
How to take a joke and how to feel other’s pain?
Who stole my laughter? Who stole my tears?
Am I so shallow? When did this happen?
Someone please tell me when did I start expecting praise?
When did my standards become the norm Where did the rainbow go ?
When did I get the need to be treated with fairness knowing all along the world was never meant to be fair?
Tell me when did I start speaking to seen?
What happened t the actions that could be heard?
Wait amiute
I may not remember why, when and where
But I know, it’s time.
Life slips away like hour glasses
It's time to cease the day
It’s time to start loving in the true meaning of the word.
It's time to sacrifice expecting nothing in return.
It's time to know who I am and whose I am
It’s time to stop defining who I am but what others say.
And yes time has taught me that my identity and destiny is in the great I AM.
So now,
I can dream again.
I believe again. I can feel again.
And I am alive again.
