I see your eyes, so gentle, so serene
I hear your voice, so clam, so comforting
I hold your hand, so warm, so content
I lay in your arms, so firm, so assuring
I know who you are, I want to know you more
I see your eyes, so wanting, so greedy
I hear your voice, so cold, so mocking
I hold your hand, so reluctant, so tense
I lay in your arms, so angry, ignoring
I know who you are, I rather not know you
The day and night uses the same sky
Yet the sky contain two kinds of light
I hear your voice, so clam, so comforting
I hold your hand, so warm, so content
I lay in your arms, so firm, so assuring
I know who you are, I want to know you more
I see your eyes, so wanting, so greedy
I hear your voice, so cold, so mocking
I hold your hand, so reluctant, so tense
I lay in your arms, so angry, ignoring
I know who you are, I rather not know you
The day and night uses the same sky
Yet the sky contain two kinds of light
This poem is from the book Pick Me Up by Charmaine Tan, a 13-year-old child suffering from end- stage kidney failure. A congenital eye disease has also left her visually impaired but her lifelong wish is to write and publish a book. To make her dream come true, Make-A-Wish Foundation Singapore took on the impossible task of granting her wish within 24 hours.
Pick Me Up is a true symbol of how people can overcome their circumstances to live their mark and turn their dreams into reality.
can read more on both here and here. the first link is US based; 2nd Singapore's.. i bought this magazine and i thought the poem's really nice..
what's YOUR wish, by the way? the ONE dream that u super want to have? i'm not saying "World Peace" and "Save The Environment" kind.. coz these are, of course, already instilled in our minds, i suppose.. i'm saying, WHO u wanna be/ WHAT u wanna achieve..
i've been thinking (for too long) that i might try canvas painting.. and have a gallery.. u know, like The Marilyn Dean Gallery - the one in the movie 'the breakup' - where Jeniffer Aniston works in.. haha.. that's 1 very Mean Lady Boss actually..
