Dear Sun, Dear Future

So today I'm sitting down, reminiscing on my childhood days in my country. Thinking of my upbringing to this day. There are things I wish I had, things I wish my parents could have done for me.

Thinking about how my friends could talk about planning on going to do some activity that costs just as much as my salary from my part-time job ...

I think about how I would sit down with my friends as they planned about what they would do for their holiday. I was saving up (still am as I write this article) to go for my masters. The activities they would do that holiday would cost just as much as my monthly stipend.Not to mention I was not receiving any sort of income from home. 

It was sad. I wanted to join in on these activities too, but my masters was far more important. So while I was reminiscing today, I decided to keep working hard.I am growing older everyday.Perhaps the time for me to enjoy this is already past, but I definitely don't want them to one day sit down and wonder the same thoughts.

So I will keep on working hard. Oh sun beyond the ship, beyond the ocean the ship travels, I know I can never touch you, but I wish one day you too will shine and smile on my offspring acknowledging that yes, I saw him sit and write this, and today it is.
