All Those Things That Keep Me Alive!

Happiness and hope are in the littlest of things.

The tinge of smile on my parents’ faces
The flicker of kindness in their eyes
Their peaceful sleep on a warm winter night,
Keeps me moving forward
As I push every obstacle
And crawl towards my goal.

The unread books on my bedside shelf
The poems I am yet to write
The songs whose tunes I am eager to learn,
Urge me to go on
As I pick up myself after every defeat
And prepare for a new battle.

The messy but beautiful girl
Who wants to live life on her own terms
Dancing to the rhythm of her heart,
Motivates me to try one more time
As I look at her in the mirror
And wave, whispering —

“Thanks for keeping me alive!”
