life's upside

If I were a flower
I would be a bud,
I will treasure my youth
and shall remember it all my life


The time passes by so fast
And I want to cherish
every moment everyday but
I wouldn't say I want to go back


I always fall on my knees
always get deep wounds,
but all these cannot be regretted,
as they are my lessons in life


While I still have a time,
I'll hold the hands of my mother
and I'll smile at every face I see
I will sing happy songs


Life is but too short for me,
There's too many obstacles
For someone so weak;
But I know it will suffice


I will smile everyday
Cry at times
And laugh out loud because
despite the rocky road there
will always be my sanctuary in the end.
