The Dream

It was a splash of color in the morning light
Vibrant, bright hued, and effervescent
Flitting around from here to there
Dancing to the song of life without a care
It seemed to be aiming to the sky
Look at me, it seemed to say
I am happy, I am gay

There it was in the twilight
Strangely aimless and lost
The bright colors seemed a farce
Gone were the song and the dance
As it bobbed up and down in the wind
Downward bound it fell at the feet
For alas it was just a broken wing

Today is Special...

Today is special…
Because it comes with the reflection of yesterday;
of feats achieved and lessons learnt,
of memories made and dreams realized.

Today is special…
Because it comes with the promise of tomorrow;
of challenges to face and words to keep,
of hopes to build and dreams to fulfill.

Today is special…
Because this is the moment that is alive and real;
The eternal moment when the promise
unfolds before it becomes a memory.

Today is special…
Because it is the reason to celebrate ‘You’;
For you are someone’s memory,
someone’s reality and someone’s dream.
