Another celebration ahead
Another birthday's coming
But what am I celebrating this time round,
Or rather all these years?
From the day I announced my arrival
upon this Earth
Till I set foot on my journey
upon the 'circle of the earth'
Must I emptily pass through the four seasons of
earthly existence
To just wonder what life's about?
You mean I've been chasing after the wind
all this while?
I concede that life's like a vapour.
But while it lasts,
I will not let it evaporate into nothingness
Without knowing that this little drop of dew
has contributed to a positive environmental influence to
those around me
well, at least makes the air
that we breathe a little more breathable.
"Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appears for a little time, and then vanish away." James 4:14
"...be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass..." Micah 5:7
