“Changes”

By: Lourenzo Manimtim

Each day passes I am aware that this moment will never last. To wake and see with my own eyes a world of my past. Where the past is the present and today is tomorrow. But as every morning shines I fear opening my eyes as I know that the sun won’t rise in the same place it once was. I wish yet I know that time will never stop to relieve and linger what has gone passed, to live the life of my memories of the times I was truly happy, to see the blooming flowers and the wide green fields of grass, to experience the warm windy breezes, and behold to the sight of the majestic mountains. I fear to see the world change, I fear to witness the mountains crumbling and flames, the flowers in wither, and the field of grass turning into houses. I am free to dream and linger! I want time to stay still and, each day, as I wake when I open my eyes the clock will strike back. For the past will be the present and today will be tomorrow I can live in this joy of eternity I will relieve my memories a world where I see I’m happy. I wish! I wish yet I knew that time would never stop, and I must accept reality and face the Inevitable Change.

But amidst the current situation we cannot take for granted that there are also good politicians that loyally serves and loves their country and the socie...

  Family is a Gift   Sometimes in life, we always come to dismay With life and struggles, trodding along the way, We wrestle and tussle, we fight and battle, As if the world, is in the test of our hussle, But at the end day, dawn turns to dusk, and war and peace will come to pass.   Family is a Gift, no one should deny, For the family is the one, will cherish in your cries, The memories together, the many times together, Full of joy and full tears, Family is a Gift, throughout the years.
