I worry about nothing because nothing is permanent 

I worry about nothing because one cannot do anything about what one cannot control

I worry about nothing as I have a choice not to worry

I worry about nothing because tomorrow I may not be around

I worry about nothing because all problems are created by self

You have all the answers to unravel your worries

I bet that you will find things to worry about

Because that’s human nature and instinct 

Do what you can

Believe that all things shall pass

And Prayer may bring you a miracle

In the midst of all the media storms

Where heroes rise

And villains fall

Consuming news daily like never before

Remember your own spectacular life

How you have taken up challenges and won

They had seemed impossible, you had sworn

Realise that we are all winners in our own ways

Pat and praise yourselves each day

The victor is in us yet we look around

God’s Grace to us abounds

Tik Tok, Tik tok

It is the restless clock

I have watched its tireless hands

Swipe off me, second by second

Some may feel it’s trivial

Others will sense it’s futile

This everlasting march of time

One considers sacred and sublime

It has bypassed me in my ignorant youth and in my restless adulthood

But now, in my senior years, time is as precious as gold, as perishable as food, and as elusive as the fleeting cloud

Time generates encounters, feelings, and actions

In which one has the ultimate control over matters

What had passed transpired as lessons for a better tomorrow

What is to come is the opportunity to achieve what one deems meaningful

Let not this ally slip away

Like a true, faithful friend waiting to build a dream with you

But may vanish with your inaction
