sealed

Bismillah..

Twas' small, at first

then it grows and grows, bigger than tiny me

i was..being a typical grown-up

ignorant, short-tempered

for a moment, i was tired

with the paperwork, preparation, disciplining

its "I this, I that..I..I..I.." 

it's..

the motherly advice

an educator's patience

 human insight

even a radio morning message

and then, one day

saw a little girl whispering to her friend's ear

a secret

my heart unstrung

they are small

live in moments that is priceless

 they are fast

to made up how the world is magnified to them

of how the rain falls

of how tall trees are, if you just lay down on soft bed of leaves

how the sun peeks out from a cloud

these secrets embodied in something so tiny

so alive!

we tend to see the full picture and be burdened by it

our own weakness

our own lack of courage

i learned something

these kids

they're so small

and yet they are bigger than me

in fighting the constant unknown

in opening their hearts to it

so i begin to listen

and its true

they even share a secret with me too
