THAT DAY
The Journey Untold; Part 2
That day oh that day
I knew that if this journey untold is to be continued later
Then Destiny has to be on hold
Why should my destiny be on hold?
There are so many things to be unfolded
So many things to learn
Oh that day I realize that this journey untold can be a teacher
That day I understand that life at every stage has lesson to teach.
That day oh that when I could walk to mother and father in their room
Mother where is father I asked
Mother is quite, head is facing down, tears are dropping
Why are you crying mother?
That day oh that day I knew everyone on this journey untold has tears unseen
I am here said father
I have a new job with better conditions
Mother is happy that is why you see tears dropping
That day Oh I remember I understood that there is something we call “Tears of Joy”
“TEARS OF JOY”
Who are you?
Why do you come out of mother’s eyes because she is happy?
Do you also feel like Pain or you feel like love?
Can I understand why you make mother cry?
These question I remember asking myself that day
That day oh that day I understood that on this journey untold
Tears form part of it but comes in different ways
That day when I was sent to my new place
The place where I met friends from where we came from
We could only understand our own language
That day Oh that day when I we could say is “googoo gaa gaa”
Oh that day when I could say “Dada”
Mother smiled at me
That day I realized I am beginning to forget my “googoo gaa gaa”
I can’t understand my friends anymore
That day oh that day I learnt that on this journey untold
I will leave somethings behind as I embark on this journey
The journey untold…
Now I can talk and understand what everyone says
There is soo much take in
How can I blend in with these new faces of character?
Oh on that day I understood that on this journey untold
Faces of character will appear on my path
That day oh that day I knew that I need to cope and adapt with the society
Growing up I have learnt that this journey untold,
Is full of battles and challenges
In these battles and challenges are also opportunities to bring out the best in me
Oh I remember that day I said to myself that battles are opportunities
Faces of character, multiple choices and spontaneous decisions to make
You take the right turn it works in your favor.
You take the wrong turn and you it might look friendly sometimes
But the end of it isn’t right. The end of it are damnations and regret.
That day oh that day I knew
That this journey untold is full of choices.
I choose the right ones yes I do
I hope my choices sends me to the right path
What happens if am wrong with the choices I make
Do I stay on that wrong path or I change it?
Oh I remember that this journey untold is teacher
I need to learn from my mistakes and make the necessary correction and move on
Oh that day I realized that this journey untold has another name
Life…
A teacher
The choice giver
Hahaha soo many names this journey untold has
Very interesting you are
How can I understand you?
That day Oh that day I knew that there are a lot to learn
Today I know that this journey untold is called life
How you live it is your own choice
Don’t let people change your choices
Make the right choices and when you are wrong correct yourself
Don’t stay in your mistakes, come out of them and live the life you are called to live.
That day Oh that day we will all account to the Giver of life, the Journey Untold
Remember!!! You have one life to live
