Let me hold you gently in my arms and be within your embrace.
Let me whisper softly to your ears and tell you how much I love you.
Let me kiss you passionately on your tender lips and feel your warm breath.
Let me get lost in your eyes, because I am “yours” today and tomorrow.
I am “yours” today and tomorrow, until we become old and gray.

Foreword: Life is short, though sometimes the days seem long. Embrace your significant other, each and every day.
I see so much of myself in my mother’s eyes.
Sometimes I see her happiest moments, when she nods and acknowledge me.
My mother’s eyes, the window and lens of my world as a child.
Sometimes I see her sad moments, when she shakes her head and tells me, “Why don’t you listen and do as being told?”
My mother’s eyes, if looks could kill.
No matter where I am, I am home in my mother’s eyes.

~~Dedicated to all the wonderful immigrant mothers out there in this world. A person that gave unconditional love, made sacrifices for her children to have a better life and deprived of self-love. You are out there, but not alone. Honor should be yours.
The morning sunshine grace me with rays of light.
It warms my body, heart and soul.
I live each day with gratitude, to feel that I am still alive inside.
Sometimes death want to seek me out, but I put on my warrior armour to battle each fight.
The starry night skies grace me with billions of sparkling stars and planets.
It gives me hope that in darkness, there is also light to accompany me.
I live each night with gratitude, knowing that I survived another day.
I live to seek inner peace and happiness on this earth until my final day comes.

Take a walk or take a trip to discover the natural beauty of outdoors. It may surprisingly help with mental sanity and depression. Enjoy the open blue skies; breathe deeply of clean air through your nostrils, take each step slowly and soon your self-discovery of hope will find you.
There were once two Shoreline crabs.
Crabby “A” had two big claws.
Crabby “B” had one small and one big claw.
One day, they both crawled out of from their homes underneath the big rock from the ocean shoreline to find food for the day.
Crabby “A” and Crabby “B” both spotted a tiny dead shrimp and bickered over who found it first.
Crabby “A” : Hey! I spotted that shrimp first!
Crabby “B”: I spotted that shrimp first, so I get to eat it! Ha, ha, ha…
They both fought vigorously with their claws raised up high and ended in a deadlock until they fell on their backs.
Suddenly a loud and fast gush of wave submerged both under water and drowned them for a moment.
By the time the waves were gone, so were their food.
They both squinted their tiny eyes and glared at each other for a moment and was sad that their food got washed away.
Moral lesson:
If only you have the kindness to share and not waste time fighting and bickering, both parties will benefit instead of suffering a total loss.
