Welcome to 2024!

In the morning's messages, beauty was found,
But let's focus on something, as the year spins around.

2023 bid farewell, dreams unfulfilled,
Yet 365/365, your life distilled.

Ungrateful to the Lord, the omnipotent guide,
Who blessed you wholly, don't let it slide.

Depressed for dreams unmet, a heavy weight,
Car, marriage, or contract, the source of your debate.

Journey to Canada, Hajj's sacred call,
Or building that dream home, left you in a fall.

Depression's surname, a heavy load,
For dreams not realized, the path you strode.

The ungratefully depressed, hear my plea,
Sit up, pay attention, let your spirit see.

If I could, I'd share another's word,
But here I am, the message stirred.

In 2023, dreams materialized for some,
Yet they missed the score, 365/365, they succumbed.

Your clean sheet shines, a blessing untold,
But depression lingers, a story unfolds.

A home built, a car bought, dreams in flight,
But a perfect score eludes, their silent plight.

Oga patapata, with a perfect score in hand,
Yet depression lingers, a mystery to understand.

365 days, with spouse still near,
Others lost love, you hold dear.

Parents and children, by fate's cruel hand,
Yet yours remain, a privileged stand.

Schools finished, service done,
Others perished, but you still run.

Siblings lost, friends bid adieu,
Yet you complain, about a meager due.

Locked up, kidnapped, denied liberty,
Yet here you are, wild and free.

Not motivation, just a mirror clear,
Reflecting blessings, make it sincere.

Appreciate the Almighty, rise above,
Strive, hope, in His boundless love.

Choose to see the blessings, not just the strife,
Have a productive 2024, embrace life.
