One Bucket of Dreams

Seated on the floor
Leaning at the wall
Outside the rain is pouring down
For this girl from a small town

Her feet is now under the blanket
But her thoughts are not arranged yet
Another hard night to sleep
A soul is on an on going field trip

February comes and knocks
More than half a year already passed
Asking myself familiar questions
Negotiating with God and asking for directions

Growing up as a child 
A lot of dreams I desired
The list is completed one by one
Now I'm a grown up will it be gone?

I thought after the childhood dreams are reached I'll be done
Nobody told me that during that time it has just begun
But it's all good, it's okay
Maybe they knew I'll figure it out anyway

So now where am I at?
What is this rant all about?
In this solitary time I hope to find
A better self, in it His will be done

A wife and a mother, a teacher, or a writer?
A marketer, an artist, or a photographer?
A host, a model, a singer, or a dancer?
An intercessor, a servant, a philanthropist or a leader?

The desires of my heart are written in Your book
You read all my letters and You don't miss to look
You made it possible to make all my childhood dreams come true
Now I pray please help me reach my grown up dreams too

Deuteronomy13:13-15
" So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today - to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul - then I will send rain in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil.

      Donnington Grove Hotel and Country Club  Newbury RG14 2LA, United Kingdom   8 September 2024 -  A beautiful morning walk around the forest  To walk in your dream  Traveling on clouds beam  Feeling the cold autumn breeze  Enjoying an Italian drunk cheese Faces and paces switch    Different destinations reached                                                                                                             Through a woven extraordinary link  History, culture, and arts flashed in a blink  Giving you goosebumps and fuzzy feelings     Left you in awe in your meandering            ...

Why I fell in love with the Metro

What happens when you pack your bag and go? To the place that you're uncertain what to sow? You take courage and watch life flow To where you're heart and soul hopes to grow Then you are there carrying the bag of dreams Walking and running toward life's realms You are there with a heart so free So close of becoming of who you want to be Surrounded by very tall buildings Composed of room where telephones ring Sounds like a new place In store is a set of new race When you are pointed in a direction thrice Follow it and don't think twice It is the course prepared for you Take the challenge for it's brand new Then when you reach the door Remind yourself there's something in store Something valuable and beautiful For you to experience a life that is full Then when you get inside Be humble and throw that pride Empty your hands out Let you be filled again with life's art Then when you are part of that race...
