The year has ended (2011) a new year has to stay for awhile <br />A lot of guessing and feeling what the new year has to offer <br />Two people has to exist and will try to walk the ropes <br />The optimists and the pessimists will make their way to tread <br /> <br />The optimists with their minds set to create positive trends <br />While the pessimists anchor their spirits and minds so low <br />Both have their basis but who's to follow to ford a trend <br />Was it the negative omen of last year or the bright hopes of today? <br /> <br />Life is very real...people come and go...people born and die... <br />A lot of mix feelings to ponder and a lot of what ifs to consider <br />You get tired thinking and anticipating what will happen today <br />Even thinking and worry what will happen to you few years hence <br /> <br />But for sure you know exactly where you are going now and then <br />Not a guessing game but for sure feeling is worse than knowing <br />You live that long with the numbers of medicines you are taking <br />You can feel how sharp or dull is your mind and accept it now <br /> <br />There's no escape or to amass wealth to buy the fountain of youth <br />But instead go on with life with courage, happiness and acceptance <br />Always treat present and coming years with hope and sweet smiles <br />Always tomorrow will be gone but always too, live with it with faith <br /> <br />This is a real happening, we are all getting older, and weaker <br />We become physically powerless but compensate it with power of mind <br />Feel the comforts of your life with someone you love on your side <br />After all this is an age of striving and not an age for sighing<br /><br />Edwin Alba Empestan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aaa-a-year-for-for-striving-and-not-for-sighing/
