MY REASON FOR BEING HAPPY...

I guess all of us have our reasons for being happy. We all have our own reasons for existing in this plane. Much more so, a reason to smile each day despite the currents and tides that hit us rock bottom sometimes.

My reason for being happy is ZARELLE. The one and only person I trust who will love me no matter what, second to my mom. My mom and I have our differences and sometimes with misunderstanding, we do not communicate well. But with my daughter, we talk about everything. And it's funny because she has simple explanations for things that utterly confuses me. Hahaha... Sometimes I feel like I am talking to a 40 year old instead of a 3 year old little girl. I draw my strength in the thought that I have to live longer because she wants me to there for her till the end. And also, I want to live longer to see that she lives well before I pass away.

I have raised her to be open about her thoughts and she exercises freedom of expression. So she tells me what she wants and what she does not want. I do not force her to do the things she is not comfortable with. And she does not force me to do the things which I do not like to do too.

We always hug and kiss. That's the part I like most of all. I love my baby---more than my life.

EVER SINCE THE WORLD BEGUN (SURVIVORS)

I never knew what brought me here
As if somebody led my hand
It seems I hardly had to steer,
My course was planned.

A destiny that guides us all
And by it's hand we rise and fall;
But only for a moment time
Enough to catch our breath again.

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan;
Oh, when life touches the other,
It's so hard to understand.

Still we walk this road together,
We travel through as far as we can;
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world begun.

Takin' in the times gone by
We wonder how it all began
We never know and still we try to understand.

And even though the seasons change
The reasons still remain the same;
It's love that keeps us holdin' on
Til we can see the sun again

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan;
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began.

And I stand alone, a man of stone, against the drivin' rain
And the night it's got your number and the wind it passes your name;
And we search for truth, win or lose to whisper on again.
Where hopes still burns eternal,
We're the people of the plain.
