2012 in a Review: Lost and Found

10:30:00 APRILSKELTER 2 Comments


I wanted to recount the happenings of this year by doing something that I don't usually do and I'm 
never really good at: a poem. Here's my attempt (hopefully not a failure haha) for a decent one.

***

The year 2012 has its up and down
But know when you're lost, you're to be found
So there wouldn't need to frown
 For His love is everywhere and today, I'll list it down.

This year
I lost friends, though not physically
Felt like at some point I'm alone and nobody
But it has made me look around me
And alas, I realised I have a family who loves and adores me
And it's all and it's where I needed to be.

Family doesn't necessarily mean blood-related
Though my biological family is more than what's anyone needed
God gave me friends who acts the same
Some started from a fandom, maybe, but should not be judged and of it be ashamed
For they don't know what we have and it's something that judgmental kin indiscreetly wanted to claim
Without them realising it.

This year
I lost a loved one; she's now with our Lord
Life, heck it is short, no money can ever afford
But it shouldn't be a reason not to be thankful
For He gave us wonderful memories with her in it that's bountiful
She's left, but never really left
Family's stuck together, loving each other more
No thought has ever been more beautiful
Than that.

This year
I fail at the board; I fail with my job sometimes
What's life without some failure and trying times?
Sooner or later, believe and do something and you'll be on your prime
And remember that "not trying again" is the greatest crime

This year
I discovered more music, the good and the bad
Went to concerts, met great musicians face-to-face
Got inspired by random people, read books that are rad
Those distractions from reality making life a sweet haze
And you know you want it.

2012 is also the year I became closer to the One
Because He makes me happy the most and with Him, I'll never be gone
His love is the sweetest
His grace, overflowing
And His presence is always with you, even 'til the break of dawn
Jesus is all that we need
And then we're fine.

Next year,
I'll be bad and I'll be good and try to live my life more
Because one can never know but Him of what's in store
You are always given a choice and a chance to have your life restored
Now grab it before you get on-board
To your greatest destination.

Wear love like a crown, I heard one sing
Love will always be our greatest possession, believe it
You may not be fully aware of what it can really bring
Not yet
But still feel free to share it to everyone you meet.

2013, you've come too fast but guess I am ready
No, you would never be steady
But with Him that's within me...
Moving forward will always be easy.
