I met a lot of liars
I listened to their stories
pretending I believe them
I met several arrogant people
Rude and conceited
I try to understand them
Naughty boys are countless
If they are being funny and harmless
I forgive and laugh with them
Today, I met an ungrateful one
Someone not worth helping, someone not worth my time
With no hesitation I still helped him
I spent my free time helping him
Only to be told that I hate him
And that my intention was to fail him
Such an ungrateful one
If he only knew what I did for him
Maybe he would appreciate my help
I pity this ungrateful boy
His future might not be good
A man with no manners is not a man at all
I know I will see him again
If I don't smile, don't blame me
I just want to hear a thank you from him
When I help I should not expect anything in return
For not everyone is blessed with a good character
If thank you cannot be said, saying sorry is enough
I used to have a daily plan. I plan everything
I write them on paper with date and time
Believing, I can organize my life like that
Because, I don't like surprises. I don't like to be shocked
I want things to happen the way I expect them to happen
But no day is predictable anymore
No idea when to wear my best white pants
And I risk every white shoes I have
Because it is possible to rain on a sunny day
So I carry an umbrella on a supposed to be perfect day
Really, I cannot control everything
Just when I thought things are going well
That soon my dreams will become real
That my patience will be rewarded
That soon I will meet my destiny
I got stuck in traffic. No car was moving
Heavy rain floods the streets where I walked.
My best dress was ruined.
I lost my phone. I lost his number.
I lost the destiny I thought was mine.
I lost his number, I lost the moment
The rain stopped the following day
But, I did not hear from him again
and I did not see him again
Our paths never crossed again.
I learned my lesson and threw all my daily plans away
I asked God to plan my life for me instead. It's His anyway.
I stopped believing in destiny
and told myself "there is no fairy tale"
I stopped chasing something that is not mine.
I live each day trusting God
I tell him my dreams and my wishes
And guess what? God sent me a gift
Better than what I have imagined
Too far from me and too impossible
But possible and easy for God
Guess what? A free schedule on my busy calendar
A yes from my parents
A nod from my boss
A ticket too cheap to ignore
All I need is my bag and I'm ready to go
The clouds are blue on a typhoon day
No strong wind...not even a rain drop
No hindrances, no problems
My path is suddenly covered in roses
God's plan works better than mine
This happens every year
Every time I feel I need to smile
So I am asking myself if this is my destiny
Is he the one? Only God knows...
If he is mine, he will always be mine.
But now I know, destiny is powerful
Too strong to resist and no one can stop it
I do not know what my future will be
I still don't plan for tomorrow
All I know is...my destiny
is what God has planned for me.
I can't remember entering any game
But my adult life seems to be full of challenges
I have observed that as I grow older
my problems grow too.
They come in different sizes now
Just like a game, I needed to use tools and strategies to win
Often I lose...but of course I can always start again.
I am always tempted to give up...or maybe skip a part
I know there is no short cut and it's wrong to cheat
So here I am...trying my best
After many tries and cries, I did it!
I finished a challenge! I won!
I got my reward! I survived!
I am not a loser after all.
I can be strong and I can be brave.
The feeling of winning is addictive
It is hard to sleep when you have a problem
But it is harder to sleep when the problem is gone
Because all I want to do is laugh, cry and run
and eat the biggest chocolate I can find
An Iced Mocha would be great too
and 2 slices of my favorite chocolate mousse
Eating an ice cream straight from the pint
With my earphones stuck to me all day
I will relax! I will have fun!
While on the sofa and watching TV
I remember who helped me pass this challenge
I know I cannot do everything on my own.
I need God. In fact, I will not survive without Him
In fact, He did everything.
I am just a weak human. Pretending to be strong
Until the next challenge...
I will relax and try not to worry
I will smile and be silent
Knowing that my God is always with me
