Now I know
by Gil CamporazoI came upon this world
Too long before I cried
Not for my father's intuition
Lest consciousness I gained not.
I lived in utter poverty
Hard to eat - hard to live.
My father's meager wage
Not enough to feed the six.
I went to school
No uniform. No ID.
School activities deprived me
No penny, no cents to get through.
Higher learning found solace I
Latent talent found its way
Happy to be through
Livelihood truly led me.
Then a family raised I did
Six of them loved them all.
A mother, a wife to cherish
Living, loving together, forever be.
A mission I saw:
"Lovest thou me?", "Feed my sheep."
"Who is my neighhor?"
A dubious mind terribly pierced.
"Why me,Lord?"
Worthy not to fill this task --
Worthy not to heed this call --
for infirm, frail -- I am!
Now I know --
Unfailing faith taught me so
A willing heart led me through
It's me, Lord.
Now I know!

This is a nice photo. It just show that if just keep the faith and never give up with what you want, you'll still have a grasp of it in due time.
