Poem on December Memories
Photo credit: ameenullah from morguefile.com
The humming of birds,
quietly singing at the top of the trees,
reminds me of how happy I used to be.
The rattling of leaves,
swaying and dancing to the tune of the winds,
refreshes my mind of the nature’s beauty.
The happy faces of children,
playing outside and on the street,
awakens my childhood memories.
The genuine smile of my parents,
doing good deeds to everybody,
inspires me to be positive even if they are nobody.
But…
Those were only fond memories,
Memories that I have never forgotten,
Memories that I always dreamed.
If the humming of birds,
reminds me of my happiness,
why do I feel so much sadness?
If the rattling of leaves,
refreshes my minds on the nature’s beauty,
why are they crying for help in the wilderness?
If the happy faces I’ve seen,
awaken my entire childhood memories,
why am I feeling empty?
If the genuine smiles of my parents,
inspire my whole being,
why am I alone and my heart is heavy?
Tell me…
Am I not worthy to be praised?
Am I not good enough to be loved?
Am I not capable of doing good things?
Am I too lonely while everyone is happy?
Where can I find happiness if hearts full of bitterness?
Where can I find peace if feuds are everywhere?
Where can I find harmony if families are broken?
Where can I find love in a world full of hatred?
Help me…
Erase bad memories and let happiness roam.
Wash away the pain and let inner peace in.
Revive my broken spirit and let love flow,
To encourage myself and let harmony conquer.
Be inspired from the past and let unity prosper.
Be forgiving and learn to let go.
Turn to God and remove all your worries and your sorrow.
And forget all that happens every month of December…
