Poem: When The Temporal Is As Beautiful As A Flower

You gave me so much courage
It’s really hard for me to cry
You gave me so much happiness
It’s really hard for me to feel sad
You gave me so much strength
It’s really hard for me to show my pain

… I see you
smiling back at me
The very same smile you had all the while
And yet it wasn’t the same smile that I used to know…

…I see you…
So close, yet so distant
As if your eyes are telling me
“My job is done”

I seem to hear your silent voice
Saying to me softly…
That I’m already able
To be on my own

I seem to notice your eyes
Telling me kindly…
That I’ll be there… watching you
To be happy and alive

It’s really hard for me to turn my back on you and walk my way
But the courage you gave me asked me to bring more courage in others
It’s really hard for me to hold back my tears and find my joy
But the happiness you gave me asked me to bring more happiness in others
It’s really hard for me to swallow the pain and pick on the journey
But the strength you gave me asked me to bring more strength in others

I’m now alone… in another adventure without you
But I’m keeping my eyes on you
To see you happy and alive
My job is only starting… from now and forever…
