Passers By

We are all passersby in this world.
We are travelers..
We are passengers...
We are learners...

We choose the road we want to travel
and fuel ourselves with courage and determination
as we drive through the rocky streets
and smooth highways of life.

We follow the traffic lights in every corner
and obey road signs that guide us
to make the traveling easy.

We go for every opportunity that will shape us
and helps us grow to be a good person.

We stop when we are confuse
and do not know where to go.
We look and we search for a better world,
a nicer and safer place.
We listen when we want to learn,
when we want to grow deeper as a person.

We go right and left to see which
of the worlds are better.
We take U-turns to go back to life's greatest memories.
Sometimes we are caught with life's violations
but we can always have the chance
to improve and correct ourselves.

We pass through life's best places
and bumped into different people.
We argue.
We fight.
But we compromise.

We go fast when we care less about the world
and wants to escape reality.
But we go slow when we want to savour
the things that make us happy.
We ran out of gas when we lose faith in God
but we can always refuel when we go back
into His loving and saving arms.

We cannot enjoy our journey in this world
when we carry excess baggage.
Remove hatred in our hearts.
We should carry an extra wheel
of forgiveness and love.

We pass across the abundance of nature.
We meet the people that we consider special to us.
We become what we are because of
what we've been through.
We become the person we want to be
because we put direction in our lives.
We are a person with vision and strength.

We learned the lessons in every step we take.
One of the lessons in life is to dream.
To have hope.
To appreciate everything around us.
To love and to care the people dear to us.

We are passersby in this world.
We don't own the things we see
and the people we deal with.
They are all part of our journey.

Be thankful and be grateful for the gift of life.
Live as if it is your last.

We only have a single chance to see the glory of life
because we come to pass in this world only once.
