Dreams 2.
Suddenly realised the end of semester is almost coming.
Suddenly realised I have alot of things to work for,
Alot of dreams, alot of desires, alot of expectations.
Sounds funny, but Mrs L. (The lady i see at Hollywood Seniors, mentioned today to me that she wishes me all the best in my exams, that i will get what i desire, and run to her telling her I did really good in my exams. I wish I would have the chance to do that. That is something to work for, to work towards as well. Today's visit to the seniors citizens left me with quite alot of thoughts. It has been a long time since I wrote about my experiences there. For the past weeks, I didnt visit Mrs L. And I slacked off visiting Mrs. G. Its weird how I am motivated to go, but yet when I am there, I seem to put off visiting these 2 wonderful ladies. It felt as if it didnt really matter whether I visited them or not, yet knowing that they were really lonely. Maybe i just felt that there was just so little I could do for them, that it was really nothing much.
Yet today, I awoke early and reached there on time. THe elderly are finally recognising me, and I feel really at home there. Mrs G. said she would be 102 when i graduate, I wish i could go to visit her when I really do. She has been feeling up and down, and at 98, she said she is really feeling it. Mr H. said he will be turning 98 on Nov 8th. Such a ripe old age, he still helps out daily with morning tea. Blake said that when I am not there, they would not get morning teas on Sundays, cos they cut down on staff, and the lady they cut down was the lady in charge of morning tea on Sundays. That is another reason why I want to go there every Sunday. The kitchen staff once told me when I was having my holiday with Jasmine, that they didnt have morning tea for 3 weeks. My heart dropped when i heard it. Im not trying to say that I am a very important person, but just the lack of staff, the lack of help and how much a helping hand can really do. Mr X said this morning that when they do get morning tea on a Sunday, its a blessing. So many thoughts, so many feelings. Mrs L. asked me how much I loved her today. What would you answer?
Dreams, are all but dreams.
To have them is a blessing,
to lose them is an agony.
They give you a sense of direction,
a path to work.
They might be an impossible destination,
only spurring you to work on.
To aim for the sky,
and reach the stars eventually,
Its already a feat in itself.
