Farewell, my child...

Remember when you used to sit on the swings?
Remember all those time we spent together?
Remember the green grass and sweet floral scent in the air?
Remember the songs we learned and sang together?

I shall miss those songs,
I shall miss your loving voice,
I shall miss your sweet smile and tender gaze,
Most of all, I shall miss you...

I taught you things from my own experiences,
Hoping from the bottom of my heart you would grow,
Ever wiser, ever stronger,
Hoping that when I'm gone, you'd bid me farewell with a smile...

My prayers and my dreams are yours,
And forever yours they shall be,
May they shield you from the fierce world,
May my everlasting love be your sanctuary,
A place where you can be safe...

There is no neverending story,
Stories will eventually come to a halt,
To merely fill a chapter of your life is enough,
It is my wish that you write your own story...

You are the poet of my life,
You are the song I sing,
You are the silver thread I weave,
You are the breeze in the wind that makes me realize my life is beautiful...
You are a rare gemstone,
A work of art...

For your presence in my life, I thank you, my child...
However, I must bid you farewell,
Please remember,
My love will always be with you...

(Dedicated to all parents and teachers,
may your sincere heartfelt wishes for your children and students be felt for generations to come...)

A Quote...

"...We exist in this world not to find someone perfect to love, but to learn to love someone imperfect perfectly..."

(from: An e-mail I received from my sister)

I shed tears upon reading that... I wonder if such thing exist...?
Maybe not in my lifetime.
Blessed are those who manage to find such love,
That's why... Do not let go of the one you love the most...
