You wonder where time flies and
fall back upon memories to take you back in time.
How different were you, when you
first started school or when you first rode your bi-cycle? Your friends from
school, some of who are still standing by your side. Your friends from college
who are proud of you today. The day you got married, holding hand of someone
who promised to be your friend for life, you took a leap of faith and promised
him the same. Your kids, first time when your heard them cry. Their first step
holding your hands and when the first time you dropped them to school, leaving
a part of yourself at the school gate wondering if your little one is doing
alright.
Life goes on . . . and some of these memories become a part of
your soul.
And a few others that you live
carelessly.
Like, smelling a red rose.
Like, reading your favourite
author while sipping a cup of tea. Planting a seed and watch it grow flowers in
time. A dog bathing and yawning in the sun after a cold night. A lonely walk in
the garden. Meditating and realizing your uniqueness. Sound of your children
playing in the veranda. Gently holding hands of your partner with a feeling that
everything will fall in place if you have him by your side and to have company
of your parents when your world is falling apart.
Sometimes, it’s not about how old
or how long have your lived. Sometimes, it’s just about small moments worth
your lifetime.
