ENGULFING WISDOM

All roads are not straight

Some are curving great

For a traveler who wander

There is no road to nowhere

One must know where he’s going to

To reach the sky so high so blue

If goal is set, one must always do

What time demands, don’t wait for due

For someone like me who lived simply

And seeks nightly a fresh sunny day

Down the green fields of wheat that yields

Riches and happiness nature yields

For a young bird to fly, it must first learn

To spread its wings with mother’s teaching

There must be guide in every soaring

Against all odds someone is cheering

High school then, I was so excited

In taking the course I’ve always delighted

Sad to say, I won’t become a VetMed

For financially, we are challenged

Back then I dreamt to be a businesswoman

So that I’ll earn money wanted by any man

But God’s so great he made a plan

And called me to become a noble woman

I learned to listen to the knocks of opportunity

I accepted the offer with commitment and responsibility

That I’ll take the chance that he has given me

So that I can make my family happy

Seems like my feet have mighty wings

It carried me here to listen to the ringings

Of golden bells sign of calling

The chosen one to take up nursing

Oh! Time is so fast, I’m already here

Near the finish line I always dear

Oh! How I love to reminisce

Times before which I never missed

They say it’s hard to be in third year

Lots of adrenaline rush you’ve face never

Party, variety show and Cebu exposure

Were so expensive yet you have to explore

The books are huge my shelf is filled

Wisdom I learn never been compared

Reading them makes me overwhelmed

Although memorizing is not my field

Someone is saying in just some time

We’ll happily reach the finish line

But after that what will happen?

Is there space for work? I am thinking

In this profession where many have tried

The competition is not desired

Reality hurts but I have to accept

Somehow my future is looking blurred

I am afraid that it’ a curse

I won’t be able to practice my profession as a nurse

But in god’s grace, I pray hard

He will bless me work even in graveyard

Not just because I want to earn

The money man has always aim

But because I want to share

The noble profession which core is CARE
