The Writeventures of Emaleecious

I see it every time I walk pass. They plead for another chance. The look says it all, "if I had another chance, I would use it better". You see it only in the seasoned eyes.  They are the ones who encourage the crying children to stop crying and go to school. They tell the stubborn teens to be smart and finish their education. They tell the fashion conscious girls to face their books and forget beauty. That if they have brains, then their beauty will be a plus. They believe its all about getting a degree, and try to sing it to all who care to listen. Heck, they will even go out of their way to contribute to the fees of any child related to them to ensure they have it going well for them. Citing that they would have had a different portion of this life if they had listened... Every time I pass, I see them siting in the morning, in clusters, sitting quietly. Looking at the world pass by. Wondering. Remembering. Thinking. I can't help but wonder what passes through their min...

(It was night you see, and I hate being without a partner in the dark.). I craned my neck a little further, trying to see what could be happening. (I needed to know if I was supposed to get down and bolt as fast as possible before informing the other passeng...

I  was born into a large family. Many uncles and aunts. I am privileged to know one great man among them all. He had a heart of Gold. A heart large enough to carry the world and still have space left over. It is unfortunate that I would write this after your passing, but i have learned now that nothing is ever truly appreciated until it goes away. Now I know that every moment on earth is precious, as life is a clock ...every ticking second counts. I want every second I spend on earth to be meaningful. To be used in a positive way. I want to put smiles on peoples faces.  I want to banter with words. I want to reach out to people. I want to give others a chance. I want people to make their own decisions, have their choices.  I want to learn to give as I have received. I want to be readily available to people who genuinely require my help.
