Little NoNi

Little NoNi, 

- looking up so high

- wishing upon the bright lit sky

- it made her wonder, it made her sigh

- on how it would feel to be able to fly.

Sorrowful Little NoNi,

- never cease gazing at the sky so wide

- her silent prayers so repetitive, it had became trite

- still she trudges on her woes and keep asking the reason why

- alas, thinking would it be better to just leave everything behind?

But, Little NoNi

- why do you need to look so high?

- to feel that only the sky can make you feel fine

- distressing about it until it made you cry

- are there no other methods that you haven't try? 

Listen, Little NoNi

- problems come and go just like the tide

- always remember to hang on with all your might

- cause every storm that passes, a new dawn will still rise

- wisdom and lessons learnt after you face it with a fight.

So, Little NoNi

- you don't have to be shy

- on the things that did not go right

- you will find a way as time goes by

- on relieving your burdens so it'll be more light.

Little NoNi, 

- I think of you all the time

- wondering if you did take heed on my advice

- I reminisced the look of your bright lit eyes

- then a warm feeling told me you are going to be just fine.

*******************************

(I penned this with much thoughts for anyone who may be at the moment, going thru some mixed emotions - feeling lost, confused, stressed, tired and hopeless (giving up).

Those were the times, like me, will look up high to the sky, and ask why - wanting to be like the flock of birds soaring high, flying away and dump away any life's challenges. But truth is, the best way to live is not to turn away to escape, but to face it courageously and vigilantly. Cause for every negative, a positive is soon to follow.

Hope my little message will at least lift up your spirits a bit. Whoever you are, wherever you may be, this poem - I dedicate it to you.
