I would like to remember ..

.. The day I smiled,

When my parents celebrated my first birthday

When I pompously sprinted with my best friend

When I scored a 3-pointer in a crucial basketball game

When I saw my first published work with a by-line

When I wore my first graduation robe

When I was profusely thanked for all the support.

.. The day I cried,

When my mother reprimanded me for telling a lie

When I scraped my knee while swinging too high

When I felt guilty for hurting a friend

When I did not pass the test for a single mark

When I experienced the pain of a broken heart

When I was not sure of treading the path.

.. The day I was puzzled,

When my father told me he would always be proud

When I felt jealous of the girl next door

When I felt tears after saving the dog’s life

When I was told that life would be cruel

When I pondered about the existence of God

When I tasted freedom in defying the norm.

I would like to remember

.. Every day that’s passing by.
