IT'S JUST ME
By: RRchard
When I was born I thought I was different,
After a few years I found out everyone is different.
When I started playing with others I thought I should always win because I’m the best,
But after some games I realized that winning doesn’t matter as long as you enjoyed the game.
When I first went to church I thought I should go because my family does so,
But after some time I realized that even if I don’t attend, those who love God will still attend
After graduating from the elementary I thought studying was just part of life,
But after graduating from College, I found out that learning is part of life’s necessities.
When I started working I thought that it is a must because I need to earn for a living,
After a few years, I realized that working means helping others achieve their goals.
Recently I thought that talking to people - especially co-workers - is just part of life,
Lately I realized it is part of our journey towards deciphering what life really is.
When I had a girlfriend I thought that it was just for company,
But after a few years I recognized that is just the beginning of a lifelong friendship.
When I married I thought I found a wife,
But as years passed I realized that I took in someone to serve.
After years passed I thought I’m starting to lose my identity as a husband,
But instead became a father to whom my children and wife rely on.
More than ten years has passed and at one time I felt that I have lost my wife,
But upon examination, found out that she became a mother not only to my kids but to me as well.
Hope that as time passes by, God would continue to reveal more about life to me,
As I struggle to retain my identity, dignity and honor.
Now I know that time is indeed short and limited,
But hope that each moment spent would matter not only to me, but also to my family and friends…
But most of all to the Lord God Almighty, my creator, redeemer and friend.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
RRchard is young man of 35 occupying one of the junior positions in the academe. He's witty, fun to be with and one of the most intelligent persons I have ever met. He may dazzle you with his cognitive ability but he could also whip a joke or two in a jiffy.
He has only composed three poems in his lifetime, (for whom? - I could not reveal). This is the third one, so you must realize by now that his poems are like translucent shooting stars in the starless night; you'll never know, when you'll be able to witness their splendor again.
Read this soulful poem and bask in its meaning ... another poet is unveiled!
Let's all welcome RRchard to the blogosphere!

Jedi Bloggers in the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009
The Jedi Bloggers (courtesy of Jan of Writing to Exhale), came out victorious from the Awards Night for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009. The dust has settled down and there are collateral losses; nevertheless, the impressive results are all worth it.
Congratulations to the organizer of the writing project - Janette Toral - for the wonderful adventure and for the valuable lessons learned.
These are the Top Ten Blogs for 2009
Writing to Exhale
Patay Gutom
The Struggling Blogger
Zorlone
Father Blogger dot Com
Kelvinonian Ideas 2.0
Tales from the Mom Side
Adaphobic
Lakwatsero
Let's Go Sago!
We would like to thank everyone who voted for these remarkable blogs. These are all “must-read” blogs; you must hop over and peruse their rousing and thought provoking posts.
Special mention goes to the Jedi Bloggers: Jan, Roy, Zorlone, Kelvin, Dee and Angel (honorary member)
Here’s to a new breed of blogs who truly “breathe blog” (courtesy of Roy of The Struggling Blogger).
Here is Dr. Lorenzo Bernardino's - aka Zorlone's heartwarming speech during that momentous event. It is an extemporaneous, touching delivery of a blogger who has carved his name from being an unknown into what he is now - an Influential Blogger, who has provided inspiration and motivation for "would be poets" and creative writers in the blogosphere . Way to go Zorlone!
Congratulations again Doc Z, Roy, Jan, Kelvin, Dee, Angel and the rest of the winners!
Thanks a lot for the mention. It brought a lump to my throat.

You
You are the moonbeam in the inky night;
the firefly of each wayward traveler.
You are the welcome shade in a scorching day;
the warm umbrage of refuge and love.
You are the sparkling rain in a humid weather;
the dewdrop in the morning dawn.
You are the joyful song in everyone's heart;
the promise of another fruitful start.
You are the one who makes my life complete;
the breath of life into my soul.
You are the quiddity of my being;
The one I would love forever.
I often wonder what am I to you;
the moonbeam or the shade of blue?
I guess this won't really matter,
just as long as I have you!

Thank you guys for nominating my blog. I would have composed a poem for each of you if I had the talent of Doc Z's poetic inspiration, so I just dedicate one poem to all of you. More power and may the force be with you!
