you raise me up...
as nobody can :) ...
we all have struggles in life
we all have hard decisions to make
we all have certain roads to follow
like we all have heavy crosses to bare
but if the divine will carry us through
if the holy one will always be there
there won't be any problems unsolved
as there won't be hard steps to take
all days will be easy and smooth
all dawns will open to high noons
as we are guided by the highest most
life will take us where we should
where the sun will be sunny and bright
where the moon will be filled with delight
and the stars will be the decor of the night
where life is a beach and won't ever miss a beat...
the future or what we will become in the end is out of reach in our minds if we are young. similar to we will cross that bridge when we get into it...our life is composed or divided into 3 to 4 quarters in a century and when we reach or near into that final quarter if we are lucky enough and with God's grace that we did not die prematurely... we are into the final leg of our journey. true manong that at this time old age is treated like a contagious disease that no one would want to be associated with or be close to...
this piece makes you pause and think about life, thanks manong. my former grade 2 teacher, madam amparing died at age 94, last 5-1st, so close to that century mark. the mother of my 73 y/o co-worker, irene, yes she is still working with us as a nurse, her mom is 99 y/o this year, she is still very lucid and still lives alone...
an eye doctor, EENT specialist like you has done a lot even in retirement. charity missions all through out here and there so i don't think it will take a song to make the young pause to notice you :)
my brother's tenure as the president of a manila branch rotary club is almost over. i'm sure he made contributions that had uplifted lives, that i am very proud :) i teased him and told him that maybe the mayor of our town will be the next quest, laughs. yes, he said if i contribute 10 million. hmn, yes if i am rich, but unfortunately i'm not ;)
