Past, present & future

Some memories of my childhood

like a spring waterfall

clear and vivid

refreshing and unforgettable

I love to go back

but they are all in the past.

Some pictures of my past were blurry

I wonder why

is something I want to forget?

but isn't it they were my times of tarsus and thirst.

Rocky and blurry experiences

I don't want to go back to

But these were the ones that made me stronger

and survived.

My present is brighter

still with bumps

I am still thirsty

Even in the brink of dying and hopelessness

my place of tarsus made me stronger

resilient, understanding and compassionate.

My past made my present brighter.

I look forward to tomorrow

knowing and expecting

the change of seasons

from spring blooming with flowers

to the dead of winter

but I am ready and hopeful

I thank God for the tarsus in my life.
