The morning here in Sydney has finally brought a smile on my face. After a number of cloudy and gloomy days, I have finally seen the beautiful sunshine. The warmth rays of the sun touching the skin on my face and the cold breeze of wind refreshes me even I have not yet taken my breakie. You can hear the birds chirping and the bees buzzing. The grass on the lawn as it welcomes the sun stands majestically to show its appreciation even in its simple way. The beauty of nature reflected at the dews on the tips of the leaves brings memories of childhood. Even the bugs and the insects would seem to smile at you thanking God for the bountiful rain and the beautiful sun. The smell of morning with flowers giving off all their different fragrances and aromas’, the leaves of the trees you never thought had one but here they are calling you and telling you that they do have a beautiful smell to behold, the sound of the grass as you thread on them as you walk around brings music to the ears. The sensation that your senses bring to you uplifts the spirit and brings joy even with just a walk in the garden. As I stand right in the middle of the garden, I closed my eyes and I thought of you and then a smile came out of my face as I eagerly awaited the morning sunshine. I can finally smile with you as you so much brag the beautiful morning you always have there. When you wake up this morning let us smile together for the sunshine that we now have in common.
Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses Rainpools in the woodland, water to my knees Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Catbirds and cornfields, daydreams together Riding on the roadside the dust gets in your eyes Reveling, disheveling, the summer nights can bring Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Slanted rays and colored days, stark blue horizons Naked limbs and wheatbins, hazy afternoons Voicing, rejoicing, the wine cups do bring Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Harsh nights and candlelights, woodfires a-blazin' Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul Treasuring, remembering, the promise of spring Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses

"It’s a song of one mans journey with the different seasons of the year. How he started it with spring when everything around him was blooming with life and the fun that goes with it. How he works to enjoy the summer season. How everything starts to go slow when autumn came. And finally, the winter season when everything has finally stopped. All he can do now is remember what has transpired in that year and look forward for spring and start enjoying the cycle again. The story of my life but I can never see that spring again, all I have now are the memories of that year. It can be a love song, it could be a story, or it could be anything as it touches you. For me, that song will always be a part of me, a year I thought that’s going to last forever……"
Kaibigan, tila yata matamlay Ang iyong pakiramdam, At ang ulo mo sa kaiisip Ay tila naguguluhan, Kung ang problema o suliranin Ay lagi mong didibdibin Ay tatanda kang bigla Pag tumulo ang luha Hahaba ang iyong mukha At ikaw ang siyang kawawa
Iniwanan ka ng minahal mo sa buhay At nabigla, sinamba mo siya Binigyan mo ng lahat at Biglang nawala, Ang buhay mong alalahanin At wag naman maging maramdamin At tatanda kang bigla Pag tumulo ang luha Hahaba ang iyong mukha At ikaw ang siyang kawawa
Kasama mo ako At kasama rin kita Sa hirap at ginhawa Ako’y kagabay mo At may dalang pagasa Limutin siya, limutin siya Marami, marami pang iba
Kaibigan Kalimutan mo nalang ang nakalipas Kung nasilaw siya Napasama sa lahat at biglang nawala Marami pang malalapitan Mababait at di naman pihikan At tatanda kang bigla Pag tumulo ang ‘yong luha Hahaba ang iyong mukha At ikaw ang siyang kawawa
All our young lives we search for someone to love. Who will show us how complete we are with them. We chose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope all the while, wondering if somewhere and somehow, there is someone searching for us.
How complicated things can get? Why it was never taught at school? Nor anyone out there to guide you. Why do we have to deal with it first hand? And have to learn from it the hard way.
The past, oh I’ve been running away from the past. No matter how I tried I couldn’t get away. The memories will always be there. And I must admit I still want it back.
The present, it’s because of the past, That I’m in the present The present which is the only thing certain. But sad to say it’s almost over.
The future, how I never foreseen it. I don’t even know if there’s a future or not. Or am I just making it up. One thing though I’m sure. I want the future to happen.
Will I let the past catch up and be my tomorrow? Or will I let the present continue its course? Or will I let the future unfolds and grace the unknown?
Why can’t it be so simple? Why does it have to be so difficult?
