As I carefully looked
Through the filter to which I see the world,
A bright light I saw speaking to me to yield.
Then, with much patience I beheld to heed.

This day was a child born;
But reborn for not to burn,
In the pit of hope he hid to grow;
For to become like firefly that hides to glow.

In solitude, I was lost in the thought of my past;
But girded up my heart to not be the last.
In pains, my heart bled in so much of tears;
But in God I strengthened my heart to conquer the fears.

In betrayal, I was so hurt that the sore grew;
But I forgave to heal the wound with dew.
In happiness, I made promises with lies;
But I begged for mercy to make it dies.

In poverty, I dreamt of a better tomorrow;
But harder worked I for table to turn with no sorrow.
In wealth and pride, I think highly of myself;
But daily I bent my knees to conquer self.

In loss, I was in denial with so great remorses;
But I came out of it with sweet memories that ease pulses.
In lust, I was so much blinded and lost;
But I conquered it with love that know no lust.

These all I check daily in the archive of my heart,
That with hope I may live by daily to act;
But more will be added for me to cope
As I grow the more in the pit of hope.
