Another milestone, another T-junction

As we traverse along the road of life -
we will stop a while to admire the beauty
of a wayward reed or a wild flower -
a bird, a bee, a beetle, or even two
they are all God's lovely creations -
they are all so lovely to me...

And there are times when we come
to a crossroad or a T-junction in life;
and have to decide which road to take -
times when we have to weigh our situation
and times when we have to make sacrifices -
or take a chance at what lies ahead of us...

At times like these, we must surely take a pause -
a longer break to just look around and ponder...
and then we must needs to really weigh each move -
and the consequences of our action, be it good or bad...
for we can't afford to go wrong, or make any blunder
as it may cause us to suffer, for the rest of our life...

Hence i would not do anything without much contemplation -
for i still want to be sure that the choice i make in life
is the right one, and that i'll never have to regret -
that i had chosen the wrong road, down which to travel...

Count Your Blessings

Count your blessings in life

that's what i've been doing: counting my blessings,
for i feel so glad that God deem it fit
to shower all His blessings on me, especially so lately...

So, i'll always remember to count my blessings,
and to appreciate all that i have:
love, beauty, friends, and a comfortable life,
and i would never want anything more in life -
than what You have given to me, the best gift in the world:
happiness at being loved immensely, and loving so intensely,

And i only hope that you would grant me this last wish:
to be able to spend the last quarter of my life
with him that i love most, dear God -
and i would never ask for, nor want, anything more...
