Happy Birthday Mum!

SHE by Elvis Costello.

She
May be the face I can't forget.
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay.
She may be the song that summer sings.
May be the chill that autumn brings.
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day.

She
May be the beauty or the beast.
May be the famine or the feast.
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell.
She may be the mirror of my dreams.
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd.
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry.
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past.
That I remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She, she, she

A Walk To Remember

I was reading the hoope blog, about the movie 'A Walk To Remember". I saw the movie years ago and quite enjoy it. Anyway the movie set me thinking about the 'small' miracles like, to be able to breathe, to feel, to see and so on. How we tend to take this things for granted and at times we even abuse this gifts. At the end of the end of his post the hoope asked-

"Another thing that sets me thinking: how would I live the remaining of my life if I knew that I was suffering from leukemia and will soon expire to the next world? Would I have attained the state of "tranquility" to embrace that blessing? Or as Jamie said when she told Landon of her sickness: "I don't want to find a reason to blame God".
How would you live your life, if you knew?"

How would I live my life, If I knew I'm going soon? I thought of this before, I'll drop off everything, without mentioning it to anyone and will travel from place to place. I'll stay at a place to work for a few weeks enough to bring me to another place. I'll make my way to mecca (Like another fav movie Le' Grand Voyage) come back only to my homeland about a few months before the due time. Whether I outlive the due time or not, doesnt really matter anymore.....it will come sooner or later. Alhamdulillah.
