How are you doing?


How are you doing? Are you sleeping well? Did you eat well? Do you

have enough clothes? Do you have enough to spend? Do you need anything?

 

All these question’s I kept in my heart,

Panging the flimsy door of my beating organ,

Panging to be let out,

My child,

My life,

My wonder,

How I want to be your shelter,

Your shield,

My child has grown up.

With wings, wide open and ready to take off,

Three, two, one…. take off

Take off…take…off.

 

The world is yours now

The shape of your back is so close yet untangible

Experience the milk and honey of the world

Experience pain, sorrow, regret,

Happiness, Joy, peace, and

Love…

 

When you need a shoulder, I am here.

When you have a problem that can’t be solved by your own hands,

remember, there are two extra pairs of hands that are instantly ready to teach you and guide you again,

My Light My Wonder My Joy

Look up day and night.

The sun and moon that you see,

Is the same one I see too.

So.

 

How are you doing? Are you sleeping well? Did you eat well? Do you

have enough clothes? Do you have enough to spend? Do you need anything?
