Strings in Life

by Marites Avisado-Responte

Strings in life
Who designs them?
Who does the layout of the road?
I ask, “why I got into it?
Not my choice but my decision.
The people I am with.
They help me find the path.
Some flee. Few stay
Myself, the best company
I struggle to be wise.
I can’t help to despise.
But with bended knees
Few words ease the case.
Failures deepen my insight
Success makes sense to the fight.
Who am I to withdraw from the joy of life?
After all, I am meant to be in here…
With purpose
In His will…
