My Dear all,
actually I have posted the following poem last year. I post it again today as I need to remind myself that I must keep believing in myself and my special dreams. This poem has been giving me the strength and the light in my heart for all this last decade since Gabriel gave it to me in 1998 when I was about to fly back home from Boston back to Indonesia. That everything seems blur and shadowed, but by keep believing in myself and my special dreams I can keep on shining for million decades more.
Keep Believing in Yourself and Your Special Dreams
~ Deanna Beisser ~
There may be days
when you get up in the morning
and things aren’t the way
you had hoped they would be.
That’s when you have to
tell yourself that things will get better.
There are times when people
disappoint you and let you down,
but those are the times
when you must remind yourself
to trust your own judgments
and opinions,
to keep your life focused on
believing in yourself
and all that you are capable of…
There will be challenges to face
and changes to make in you life,
and it is up to you to accept them.
Constantly keep yourself headed
in the right direction for you.
It may not be easy at times,
but in those times of struggle
you will find a stronger sense
of who you are,
and you will also see yourself
developing into the person
you have always wanted to be.
Life is a journey through time,
filled with many choices;
each of us will experience life
in our own special way.
So when the days come
that are filled with frustration
and unexpected responsibilities,
remember to believe in yourself
and all you want your life to be,
because the challenges and changes
will only help you to find
the dreams that you know
are meant to come true for you.
PS: This is also to participate on the Fourth Annual Bloggers (Silent) Poetry Reading on Feb.2nd, 2009. You can also participate by posting a poem (of you or any author) on your blog anytime today. So enjoy your poem and happy blogging all my dear fellow bloggers in blogosphere! :-)
