coming and going

you have been to so many places that i may not be able to set a foot on. .

you have seen so much of this world and yet maintained a positive perspective. .

you have been to places where knowledge dwells. .


knowledge that you selflessly instill in the minds of the youth that admire and look up at you. .

you give importance to those you know will catch you when you fall. .

you never let down the people who have faith in you. . your mom. . sister. . and your late father. .

they are more than fortunate to have you as a son. . as a brother. .

and i admire you for putting them before any other needs. .

you are intelligent. .

and admirable. .

and trustworthy in this world of pretense, superficiality and disloyalty. .

you recognize the value of things. .

appreciate every good thing that comes your way. .

the pain in your heart might be masked by the happy smiles you wear in your face. .

smiles that capture the heart of those who know you well. . those who care for you. .

but in times of sorrow. . you never fail to reach out to the one someplace up there to hold you up

so that you won't falter to much. .

so that you will find a way to carry on appreciating life's beauty despite the loss and confusion. .

in your heart, you have undying faith that keeps you aglow. .

in my heart, you can never be too far away. .
