Thou shalt be sensible

The fact is, many people can walk in and out of your life but only those who matter to you will leave their footprint or mark on the piece of white paper you have in that "secret vault" right up there in the "sensible room". You know what I'm talking about...

I think many people whom I hang out with hasn't really seen the sensible side of me yet because most of the time they only get to see the playful, fun and loud side of me. The person whom I think understands me the most is my English teacher/ bestfriend/ 'mum in school'/ sister/ counselor, Madam Shirley Tan. That's why, the other day when I had nothing to do, I created a poem for her. Although it is not really Pulitzer and Nobel prize material but I think it's enough to describe a wonderful soul like her. This is the poem I wrote for her:

You,

A simple soul,

Who has a heart made of Gold

Who expects nothing more than for me to be happy,

Though sometimes you may be a little bit crappy,

You're loyal towards friendship,

Even in a sinking ship,

You'll be my float,

When everyone's fighting to be in the same lifeboat.

You,

Old at sight,

Young at heart,

Always ready to give,

Never expect to get,

That's what makes you so hard to forget,

It's true that soulmates are hard to find,

But I'm glad I've found mine..
