Have I come a long way up ’till today?

Perhaps with every single step taken,

It grew and changed as the time flew away

Slowly, lips curve, eyes squint; new awaken.

Gone: silence, forced smiles, stiff words–unknown

Warmth cracks what was once frozen; locked and wild.

Rays seep, laughs creep; the cover is now blown

Away the cold–embrace the hidden child

Haven found; tears dried. Must I say goodbye?

Perhaps now the regrets will diminish

A sorry apology to make, I

Am late to fulfill your past treasured wish

Best hopes and love to our new beginning

Let the old and tired to be sleeping
