PONDERING!
Savoring tea in the morning sun
Staring silently, a new day has begun,
Wondering what this day will unfold
Will it be grand, any memories to hold?
 
Multitude of memories comes crashing in
Was it a dream, did I imagine?
Whispering gently, the wind speaks my name
Follow your dreams, fan the flame
 
The years are rushing quickly by
Truths revealed, we cannot deny
Ruminating on, events from the past
Applying wisdom, learned, will outlast
 
Sacrifices made, having no regrets
Constantly being put to the test,
Enigma of life I can relate
Empowered by faith, embracing my fate
 
Remains of the day, a gallant display
Counting my blessings, feeling no dismay
Pondering life’s heartaches and pleasure
Blessings bestowed, a priceless treasure!

The emptiness of one’s life is a life that makes no commitment; a life that is inundated with the thought that they have no obligation to contribute anything to society; a life that is inured with the mindset of selfishness rather than selflessness; a life that is interlocked with forlorn and overflows with hopelessness. We should thank God for our happy dreams for there is a satisfaction in them unto reasonable desires, and such as can be content with a fit of happiness, and surely it is not a melancholy conceit to think we are all asleep in this world, and the conceits of this life are as mere dreams to those of the next. We should never go to sleep without prayers, and half adieus unto the world, and take our farewell in a colloquy with God.
