“somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too nearyour slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands”
by EE Cummings

The poem from EE Cummings entitled “Somewhere I Have Never Travelled” is my all time favorite — the best he’d ever written {for me}. It depicted of me as a person, a hopeless romantic. The word, its meaning is just stupendously passionate. It also speaks of how I feel for my love ones, my interests and my faith to God.

Life for me had been ordinary and practically piddling… not thinking of the future, I used to devote my energies shopping for bags, shoes or clothes that I don’t even need. Not knowing my real purpose, I had fun malling, meeting up with friends and staying up all night doing nonsense any young professional would do after experiencing her paydays. You can say that I had an easy life, I only have myself to support… I was lucky.

A person with so many dreams… the ultimate is to have my own family. A family that I can be proud of, that my parents could be proud of too… who I can always depend on in times of hardships and will happily jump with me in times of triumphs. Hence, I’ve decided to devotedly raise my hands to God to give me that Special Someone who will share my journey in building a family. Never did I know that, that Special Person will be my ex-boyfriend, my first love who came back and melt my heart all over again. We sealed the deal and forever promised true love for each other in front of our Lord on that beautiful day last December 7, 2005.

My life changed in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, I have my husband, Dee to think of, our future to consider and dreams for our beloved son Dustin. My life became complicated but wonderful. I found my real purpose. That after considering a life of single blessedness, God has another purpose for me, a BIGGER one.

There are so much that I am so grateful of… my husband that I adore and who adores me back a thousandfold… our angel, Dustin who lights up our lives, our sunlight, our joy, our miracle, he reminds us that God truly gives miracles even to unworthy children like me and Dee, he will forever be a constant reminder that I am indeed a very strong woman… my family who is so loving and who will always be behind me 100%… my true friends whom I had spent my growing days with and are still with me despite our different lives and careers… a profession who lets me help others in my own simple way… hobbies that hand me constant knowledge, discipline and enjoyment… AND most importantly, to GOD, who blessed me with everything that I need and even the things I wanted, the center of my life, the sole purpose why I want to do my best in every task that will be given to me.

My life isn’t perfect yet it is so close to perfection because more than money and material things, I have my REAL treasures with me.
