all about me

Tweet

Life wasn't easy for me earlier on. I was a working student from the time I started college till the time I graduated and finished my degree. There were stumbling blocks along the way, but I was able to pull it through till the end. This is self-made poem exclusively for me. I hope you will take me and accept me for what I am and for what I am not, unconditionally, regardless of my colorful and painful past.Everything is already a thing of the past now. I've moved on and picked up the pieces where i left off and promised myself and to the Lord above, that I will never ever do the same mistake again. ALL ABOUT ME When I was younger, I promised myself To earn a degree and a sustainable lifetime career God has been there in all my struggles And never left me, despite of the odds and ends. I was a working student from start to finish In between classes, been to a lot of odd jobs, still Was a collector, messenger and did some errands for my superiors Worked as secretary of the Lions Clubs and the Bankers Association. In 1975 I earned my degree in BSBA Banking & Finance Major at South Western University After graduation, I was recommended to work in two banks By someone with a good heart, and who was a living witness of my being an aspirant. Thank you Sir, for all those recommendations It really helped me financially and made me a better person Working in those banks from 6 months to 25 years I know I didn't fail you, 'cause I proved my employers I was capable of the tasks assigned to me, from year to year. My work in the bank was a big help to me and my family Was able to send my younger siblings to school and provided them good education For them to have a strong foundation, while I'm still around And for them to remember me too, when I am already gone. Our family was then on my top priority Help augment family needs, and worked hand in hand with Daddy Never thought of getting married because of my responsibility And no one would take care of my younger brother and sisters while Daddy was away. What I regretted so much, was not having a family of my own Though I had my share of a romantic episode earlier on Maybe I should have planned my life well and not to dread alone That someone special can't offer me marriage for some obvious reasons. I hope there would still be someone for me To offer me marriage and walk down the aisle with me, someday Although I'm past my child-bearing years already I will love him till the end and still will enjoy each others' company. I know God doesn't want me to be sad and alone He will provide one for me and give me, my companion I believe every thing happened for a purpose and reason And I just have to be patient and would wait for His divine intervention. By: Luz Feliza Dolores Natal Rymonte Has the poem affected you in any way? Were you in the same situation as I was early in life? Did I somehow relate to you my story though not in detailed and some were remained private? Can you forgive me and accept me for my misconduct? I was never proud of what I did even from the start when I fall in love with someone who's already committed. But amidst all these? I've already asked God's mercy and forgiveness for my wrong doings.
