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.

“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”
I am singing a sweet melody to call for a mate, so I could procreate.
“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”
I have to communicate with my clan of species that food is here.
“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”
I am so happy that I found a worm for my meal.
“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”
I want to spread my wings and soar to the open skies!
“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”
I am so happy that Spring is coming!

I walk alone on Memory Lane.
Just me, myself and I; makes me a whole unique person.
Some days, I see myself as a child again, embracing the sweet memories of childhood. The bright and long summer days of frolicking in the vast countryside of my hometown.
Some days, I see myself as a teenager. My beloved mother would lecture me to be an obedient daughter; an expectation that I couldn’t fulfill.
Deep within myself, I wanted to be the “real me”: adventurous, creative, outspoken, and rebellious.
This is my memory lane, that I walked so often. Each chapter unfolds before me.
Each lesson and experience taught me to be a better person.
Memory Lane, my favorite path when I need some self-reflection.
