'twas the best for me

Other families, neighbours always had the better stuffs,
better houses and furniture, better electronics and gadgets while ours, 'antiques'
they even had better cars compared to ours, but ours did get us around.
Other parents had better occupation and could afford the better schools for their kids, buy them better school bags, launch boxes and even better toys.
In our case, we managed what we had.
Hey, I was envious of them, it churned hard in my stomach.
Was it envy or jealousy then, I can't really say because I wanted such luxury.
But now I do realize, the reason I didn't have such and that what I did have was the best for me, so I will be the best of me.

In life, people ain't the same and it's always for a reason that is greater than us all.

As humans, the evil in our desires is not in the fact that we want something but in the fact that we want it too much.

We really ought to know the difference between our WANTS and our NEEDS.

Well, you won't believe it but this is the first write up I've ever consciously written.
it's a sort of reunion tale after a short while of separation between a lady and myself, it goes thus;

it was as if yesterday would never come
and now it has come and gone
but the memories it brought along, will remain
significant each day for real
the thing about yesterday is
I saw her again after a short while
but if that short while were forever
how Will eternity be?
finally, my heart is relieved from the aches of missing you
just yesterday my glow was restored
standing right in front of me
oh! that sight to behold
a smile so flawless
beauty so priceless
the look on her face, reassuring
I saw blue skies just yesterday
gray skies I wish to see no more
because I saw them each day until yesterday
blue skies I wish to see from now on
if wishes were horses, men will ride even on chariots
fact remains,
at least we've been together from yesterday on
sadly the skies didn't stay blue each day
even as it was that yesterday when I saw her
my memorable yesterday.

It's funny sometimes how we recollect memorable times of our life and its funny how these memorable times don't ever last as long as they ought to... forever.
Hey, I'll always savour the best of times while they last. You should try that out too
