The Journey Of Life

Foreign Land

"AWAY FROM HOME"

As I step out from the door of our house,
I can see my families teary eyes,
When I wave my hands saying "goodbye".
Our little angel among the family,
Run towards me and hug me tightly,
Saying, "comeback home immediately".

When the plane I'm in started the engine,
I look around to the place where I've been,
And where I'll come back after discovering,
New places to face new beginning.
Upon reaching the sky, that I once dreamed,
I can't contain my emotion to beam.

When I finally reach my destination,
I can hear foreign language not like home,
That make me feel not at ease to go on.
I remember my father had told me before,
To spread my wings and and never waver,
But do my best even in the foreign land.

With a different culture I am raised,
I am able to meet my new friends,
That help me grow more in this land.
There were no days that I don't miss home,
The culture, language and food I know,
But I need to suppress for me to go.

Hearing their voices and thoughts when I call,
It makes my heart warm and filled with joy.
From their wishes and hope that lies on me,
Which boost my courage and give me glee.
I may not be with them physically,
In my heart,God is with them spiritually.

Dreams are one of the foundation that build a persons life. We are not an inanimate object that will just be there until it will never be use. As a human being we go through ups and down, It is for us to play with it or to let it just pass by and ignore it.

Years had past since the day I turn my back to my family for me to fulfill the promise I've uttered as a health care provider. A year of struggle,hardship,challenges, homesick, fake smile and patience for our patients. It is not easy to live miles away from those people who've been with us throughout our lives yet we need to, not for ourselves but for them & for the people who needs us.

There were times we just let our tears fall down just to lessen our homesickness. We tend to be happy, to celebrate the most special day of our life without them & we tend to stands beyond every obstacles just to show them were okay.

With this I've learn a lot,grown more professionally & stronger person as I could be. I may not be with them I know GOD will always there to protect and guide them. Someday I will harvest the fruit of all my sacrifices but I need to face the reality first.
