Gems of My Life

Life... so mysterious but so incredible
It sometimes make me do things
I didn't wish to do
Stupid things that made me realize.

My sixteen years in this world
Caused me to think what I should had known before
Lighthearted, some are serious, but true
Gems of learnings in life.

I should not have done something
If hte risk is greater than the reward
I should have thought carefully before acting
I should have done things at the right time.

Procrastinations killed me several times
And now, I'm looking back,
They all seem funny
Now, I can laugh with others; I'm great!

I know, life moves fast, but not so fast
That I can't slow down and enjoy it-
I never knew when I'm
Making m memory.
