One year has passed,
Love has bled along and bloomed
Together in countless ways we've grown
Through joy and tears, we've kept on the promise
Here's to our love, that broke through every shield. ❤️💕

....Trials
when i lose my ways, and fail the game
I often fear to lose myself along, and fall
behind in pain
And I, could not help but to curl in and cry
Oh, muffled, i cry with no tears
And multiple times, i try to hold on,
And hold it in but it comes out loud
As it surfaces the heart,
I rigorously try to push it down
And I awaken myself and ask for directions and try
Oh I try, God knows I do day and night
And I hate to lose hope but I wave at it goodbye
I wave at it goodbye while holding its hand so tight
And I drown but I refuse to give up life
And I could adapt to the bottoms but it's too dark
Oh, it's too dark for a soul in a pursuit for a dazzling light!
In my unsettled waters I drown at times,
And at times I swim recklessly and
Drown that what surrounds.
I withhold bitterness day and night
And adopt sweetness, such a mysterious trial!
I neutralize and adjust the rhythm,
I flip and toss the coin to settle
And yet I find it perplexing to wither
The sense of self according to myself
And according to the opposite self, yet it fickles!
-On the verge of 30s
They say pray for good and i prayed
and my answer was you, then it was never the same
all the good I could claim I received
your smile and your warm heart shine through out my glorious days
and your presence consoles me through my messy days
May the almighty bless you along the way
and keep you, happy, fulfilled and prosperous
Happy birthday dear hubby and many good returns ❤️ @cool.wirya
I'm tested with fire I ought to be.
I'm speaking of words you can hardly conceive!
I'm seeking understanding, I'm yet to achieve,
yet I am with patience, embracing the unseen!
and taking it step wise may the road ahead be as challenging as my strengths can surf and beat.
little by little the dry land cracks yearning for rain
then little by little the land floods and prays for little
and so we are in our trials and struggles
both ways we are bitter
So I might only pray for balance
for a grateful heart that bounce back sorrows
for serenity and the ability to see beyond
the given!
And they said a woman what can she do?
And I said a woman what couldn't she do!
A pillar where all the community stands upon
A teacher where all teachings start and grow
A home where all peace reside and glow
A heart where true love begins and froms
A woman, say what couldn't she do!
A warrior and a peace maker arch
A fighter when in need to survive
A miracle to witness and a feat to celebrate
every day indeed

it needs a little bit...
a little bit of bravery,
a little bit of tolerance
a little bit of hope to uplift
a little bit of patience to show up for yourself each day and live fully not just exist.
a little bit of trust that you will eventually win the game of push and pull, and conquer the art of self control.
