This picture has its significance...
I am not too sure if I've posted this picture before but this picture means a lot to me. People might look at it and say, "What a terrible picture, the finger is covering part of the lens, there is no objective, there is no story." Well, there is a reason why I took and kept this picture. There is an objective and there is a story.
Here's the story...
Before skies turned bright,
before the sun shone with might,
I watched him walk that night.
Sometimes I forget he left,
and memories are all I have,
Hearing that legacy I turn deaf.
Ignorance is bliss,
is what people choose to believe,
Naivety is all a tease.
The one who taught me chess,
the one that held my hand,
I know I'm so blessed.
The one that tolerated,
the one that simply catered,
I took it all for granted.
In pain you call out to me,
yet my name you say with such glee,
wretched child ignores your plea.
Passing your picture everyday,
i refuse to believe its this way,
but i watched you as I may.
That squeeze,
That touch,
that tear.
Now its time to face,
on my lips this bitter taste.
You've indeed finished your race.
I miss you so much,
your gentle touch.
All this in this awakening nudge.
I know I'll see you one day,
when I've finished and come to lay,
and walking up to me I hear you say,
"Well done xiao gou, I've been waiting for you at bay."
................
Hillsong's "You hold me now" was the song I played that night I watched you go. It gave me assurance and peace that you're now safe, in His arms, fulfilled your purpose and even if I selfishly missed you so dearly, God holds both of us now. Even though I cry each time I hear this song because it brings me back to that night I struggled to let you go, I trust in Him to grant me strength. Assurance to know that one day, I'll see you again and come face to face with Him. I miss you Ah Tah. May you be dancing and singing in great joy and wait for me to join you on that very day He calls me home. I love you, wait for me.
Love, Xiao gou. (Little puppy)
