Raised by Strength and Grace


I am a proud daughter
of my proud father,
I am a loving daughter
of my loving mother.


When Mom scolds me, 
I simply let it pass.
But when my father scolds me,
it feels as though my world has fallen apart.


When my mom teaches me 
to let things go,
my father teaches me 
to stand and fight back.


Yet when it comes to my life,
together they wish me
success, long life,
wings, prosperity,
and,
above all,
the grace to be a good human being.

Walking out of this building reminds me that my childhood has grown into something new. School is a second home, and this truth will forever stay with me.

The day when I will shut myself up, the day when I will trespass you like a stranger, The day when I will be talking to everyone but not you— remember, I will use it too, and you will know it by my actions. I will be there for you, but only when you need me— not like earlier, when I used to cling to you. Ignorance is a thing which life teaches you.
