just ONE more.

What are we ever gonna do if we lose all that hope?

If we lose all things including that one that keeps us going?

Where are we gonna go if we ever stop dreaming?

If we stop believing and thinking of better things?

How are we gonna stay afloat when we look at the sky and see nothing but vast darkness?

If we don't believe that one day stars will shine again, brighter than the sun?

When will we ever learn that it's that one thought that will keep us going.

keep us hanging on.

keep us sane.

All of us will always have that one wish, one prayer, one lifeline.

All of us will always be thankful for one more day. one more minute.

One more shot in making life more.

All we need is just one more.

just that one little thing.........

Have finally finished re-reading Amy Tan's The Hundred Secret Senses. AND it's worth the all nighter, as always.

"You can't stop young girls from wishing. No! Everyone must dream. We dream to give ourselves hope.To stop ourselves from dreaming- well, that's like saying you can never change your fate. Isn't that true?"- Kwan, The Hundred Secret Senses

If we have reached the kind of happiness we only once dreamed, it's because we hang on to that dream tighter than we ever realize. But even if we already are, we dream for the future. and we wish for the people around us. Wish for them. Be happy for them.

And if we shoot down other people's dreams, just because we think they bear no logic, then we are no better than the old wives that blamed unhappiness to fate.

Stumble if you must, but go for the climb. It is by climbing that Young Girl's Wish that we discover how bittersweet our lives can get.

NEVER stop wishing! :)
