Wish List
There are some things that probably have made their way into your own wish list. It could be a place that you have wanted to go to, a job that you have set your mind to, a person you've been dying to meet or just something that you wished you have owned. Sometimes we set the time to achieve them but for some, they don't, just like me. Looking at it now, there are some things on my list that i had to let go and some i've deferred for fate to decide.
Holding a paper I’ve taken time to make colorful
With stickers, glitters just to make beautiful
Now I see the edges that has spent the years
Keeping the list that before gave me cheers
My wish list I have kept so close and dear
In a paper adorned, written with pen so clear
The wishes I have whispered just before at night I sleep
Dreaming one day what’s written I would reap
A number of years has flown and gone
And now I hold the wish list as I sat alone
Awed by how one’s wishes could change
How the things I’ve craved before, now seems strange
Then I realized that some things just can’t stay
That as the world turns, the minutes tick away
Every second counts, like the games that we play
Our wants change so fast, like a racing train on a subway
My list has to be reorganized
Some things have found their way to be revised
Though how I try to hold on to my old wish list
There are now more important things that exist
But, my wish list I’m still going to keep
It still holds the things before I dreamed at sleep
It only changed, because priorities changed
But then perhaps one day what’s written there, I would reap
With stickers, glitters just to make beautiful
Now I see the edges that has spent the years
Keeping the list that before gave me cheers
My wish list I have kept so close and dear
In a paper adorned, written with pen so clear
The wishes I have whispered just before at night I sleep
Dreaming one day what’s written I would reap
A number of years has flown and gone
And now I hold the wish list as I sat alone
Awed by how one’s wishes could change
How the things I’ve craved before, now seems strange
Then I realized that some things just can’t stay
That as the world turns, the minutes tick away
Every second counts, like the games that we play
Our wants change so fast, like a racing train on a subway
My list has to be reorganized
Some things have found their way to be revised
Though how I try to hold on to my old wish list
There are now more important things that exist
But, my wish list I’m still going to keep
It still holds the things before I dreamed at sleep
It only changed, because priorities changed
But then perhaps one day what’s written there, I would reap

One New Day
A poem i made as the rain came pouring on one sunny day. . It came to my thought that life is not really fair. That no matter how good we do, how happy and content we feel there will always be failures, fights, tears, poor, hunger, conflicts even wars. But as the rain stops, as the new day begins it comes along with it a hope that maybe today is the day when somethings are made better and things that we've hoped for come true; and then finally say "ah, today is a perfect day." .... just my thoughts, bugs
Today is a new day
Yesterday has gone so fast it was impossible for it to stay
And tomorrow is not until what happened today has washed away,
Leaving only the memories that we cannot throw away
Today the sun is bright
And all is happy with its light
The flowers, the trees the fishes in the seas
Even the wind is ecstatic you could feel through the breeze
Today is but a dot in our life
We can tuck away even our own strife
For this day is another way to start
From our wrongful ways we can try to depart
Today I wish the rain would not come
So we could enjoy just this day outside the sun
Do things i've missed, swim for fun, get a tan
Or ride the bike in the afternoon till sundown
But just in case today rain would come
Washing the roads, on the rooftops pouring down
To fill up the oceans, to water the trees or aid flowers to bloom
It only cleanses the earth before another day resumes
Never fear when the day ends at night
Because it is the magic from which there is life
When all else is in dark, a part of the world has light
And when the new day comes, we bask in its warmth as the sun shines bright
Today is a new day
Yesterday has gone so fast it was impossible for it to stay
And tomorrow is not until what happened today has washed away,
Leaving only the memories that we cannot throw away
Today the sun is bright
And all is happy with its light
The flowers, the trees the fishes in the seas
Even the wind is ecstatic you could feel through the breeze
Today is but a dot in our life
We can tuck away even our own strife
For this day is another way to start
From our wrongful ways we can try to depart
Today I wish the rain would not come
So we could enjoy just this day outside the sun
Do things i've missed, swim for fun, get a tan
Or ride the bike in the afternoon till sundown
But just in case today rain would come
Washing the roads, on the rooftops pouring down
To fill up the oceans, to water the trees or aid flowers to bloom
It only cleanses the earth before another day resumes
Never fear when the day ends at night
Because it is the magic from which there is life
When all else is in dark, a part of the world has light
And when the new day comes, we bask in its warmth as the sun shines bright
