Specially for Jie Si..
Reflections from a lonely soul
I watched on as she threaded along her lonesome path
Every step dreadful, heavy and long,
Every moment hesitatant, slow and obscure,
And more than oft,
My eyes revolves around her steps,
Her nonchalant looks.
They never cease to peep at her,
For I am bewildered by a forlorn soul,
Who's without a confident, a friend to call her own.
I'll meet her at the library, settles for the table beside
I'll stand beside her in the canteen, to keep her view in sight.
Chancing upon her every single day, only leads me to ponder and pity with a saddened face.
Empathy overwhelms the heart of mine to know
She's alone, with only her shadow that's obliged to follow near her side.
Portraying a symbol of loneliness, I reckon it must have hurt.
But why she persists, forsaking friendship, few will ever know.
Maybe, perhaps, unknown to both you and me,
Love did surround her blissful life, with friends to share her agony.
Would she have continued?
Would she have dwelled?
If she saw the beauty in this thing called "friendship" that many embraced to keep in their arms.
Friends, beyond definition are what I have found.
"Count your blessing" the old cliched adage broach
Beckoning us to treasure,
And etch this message close to our heart.
Reminiscing over the laughters, a smile spread across my face,
And oh lacerated feelings were bound to come
When problems and harsh words cruelly sound.
Reflections are precious, leading me to see
Friendship goes both ways,
With constant "give and take",
Nothing is absolute need I say?
A forgiving heart towards many,
A loving arm to the rest,
My dear friend, you’re the reason
I pen this, to remind me you exist.
Message for you:
Hey Jiesi, as you know this poem is for you..only you. Heard about the problems you are going through, have been wanting to tell you the meaning behind the poem but i never had the chance to, so if you read my blog, here goes: JieSi i guess in life, we will face many problems especially with people. As you know, everyone has their own thoughts, their own way of thinking, resulting in clashes. Friends are very special people, because we are the ones who choose to befriend them unlike the relationship we have with our parents or siblings. which is God's will. Problems will bound to come our way, and they will hurt us most definitely but if we think about it, these problems can be overcome if we are determined to hold on to the friendship. Think about people who didn't even have to chance to befriend others because they were ostracized by the people around them. That's how this poem came about. A girl who was ostracized by the people around her. She doesn't even have friends to begin speaking with. Hope you will treasure your friends (i know you do, dear brother) and just turn to the Lord for guidance and wisdom to handle the problems okay *wink* Don't feel that you are not loved because there are many people who loves you..i'm one !! *wave wave* Take care dear bro...
Ps( it was great to see you on saturday again =) -smile- )
