Trifextra Week 75 challenge wanted us to write 33 of our best words.
These are mine – to my children.
My children inspire me to do more. Being so non-ambitious, I
would have gone no where without my parents pushing me to study. Later in life,
for my children I want to explore every possibility, every talent within me so
that I can inspire them to do the same. They have transformed me from a laid
back (exact translation - lazy) non adventurous non experimental (kind of a dry
leaf on the mercies of wind-blown where ever) existence to taking the reins in
my own hands.
Tossing away self doubts
Push myself to places higher
I pretend to be an adult
But I don’t know the way any better
Come, lay your tiny feet
On wobbly grounds of life.
nicely done.
