a poem i wish to share

Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace,
To have more faith
To plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!

A poem by..William Arthur Ward on new year..

when i m gone ~

Today, i got the chance to catch a burmese vcd with the title " ...."which i cant seem to remember..but the main casts were the ever-looking-boyish min maw kun and the innonce-looking-sweet ain dra kyaw zin.. about life..and death..which reminds me once again of how fleeting life can be. i might be gone anytime and when that time eventually come..i think..i would have something good, something memorable, something bad, something evil, something worthwhile ..a little of something enough to leave some memory of me behind.
i wish it would be this way..and when that day comes, i shall wear a smile and greet my death ...i shall..someday..

MEMORIES
I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways
of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when life is done.
