Year Of The Dragon

2012. Year of the Dragon. Feisty...

Wow, a year has gone and passed just like the wind.
I have been stalling to write for almost forever now... Well atleast that is how it feels.
Forawhile, amidst all the hiatus throughout 2011, the series of unfortunate events, it felt as though talking nor writing would suffice. I was literally at a loss of words.

Oh well, now that ship has sailed. 2012...
A brand new year. A little late to speak of resolutions, naah...it's never too late but however, as it is true for me every year, my new year's resolutions are never put to test. So I shall not bother to jot down my nitty gritty of what might be of future failed attempts and another basket-full of wasted resolutions.

But what I do know....
This is a good year for changes to occur...

And that alone is enough to warm my heart and plant a smile on my lips...

To better days...To a better future.

Amen.

With Love, Daughter.

Walking down the memory lane,
Where as a child I'd hear you sing,
Of all the sorrow and all the pain,
And all the beauty that life brings.

I remember the long strolls we shared,
The countless lessons you were preaching,
The very essence to every word said,
And how everyday would bring new meaning.

If anything, you've taught me how to love and to care,
You picked me up when I was shattered,
You held me close in my despair,
And it is in your warm embrace that I feel most protected.

Daddy, I might have lapsed and lost my way, 
Might have not said what I needed to say,
But everyday I'd sit and pray,
That God will never take you away.

Your love is endeared to my heart,
Your spirit is engraved in my mind,
When all else fails and falls apart,
You'd guide me through though my faith is blind.

Dear Daddy, time has passed ever so swiftly,
Season's changed and so has it's glory,
But those distinctive memories will always be,
The best part of our lives, you and me.

And I will always love you, Daddy.
