ONCE UPON A TIME

 

Stormed into the world
With a specific goal,
A way to a better life
Hopefully without strife
 
Young but yet harvesting crops
School days few, like rain drops
Time kept stealing apace
Would I win this race?
 
With unforeseen tragedies
Was God’s mysterious mysteries,
Moved to the promise land
Without even a plan
 
Finally, family and fortune
My heart was singing a tune,
Now like an unmanned drone
Again, I am all alone!

Once upon a time never comes again. We can’t bring back the yesterdays and the future is not for us to see, so let us live today, as we never lived before!
