1st day of September, year 2001; A baby was bloomed as new.
A romanticized name that was written like a rose without a thorn was born.

Everyone witnessed how he was blessed with a harmonic chime.
Every beats of his heart, quick little cry and a child's eye stime-
His ravishing baffles that makes everyone smile,
He thought...

"No one could break it: nothing can't stop it to bend."

He started to crawl and felt the ache of each fall.
Playing with different toys and balls, sometimes with a troll.
He loves to explore, as much as he do countless times to yawn.
As so he keep on weeping, crying, and mourning at every dawn.

But as he walk out of their home,
Eyes were opened, he saw how ambiguous the world works.
There were mentors who taught children like him to deduce the chain that clings.
And he knew that his parents were the greatest teachers, who loves to hum a song for him to sing.

Laughter, joyfulness and sweet remarks
The ones he shared as he enjoyed his childhood years.
Classmates, friends nor neighbors he met,
People he wanted to be with because they bring weariless can't forget.

Not until he got enrolled in high school as he succeeded his preschool.
At first, he thought it was easy and cool learning with rules.
He said...
"Solving math problems and fuzzy puzzles is mindless!"
Without knowing how his brain shivers as he uncover answers.

But they say, "Life is not just a life needed to live on."
We must know how to be strong and must hold on.
Because being a student is not the scariest job we may encounter,
It's the precious stepping-stone we must empower.

As he grow, he got tons of medals, certificates and trophies
Played marvelously with trumpets with his bandmates.
Received congratulatory gifts from uncles and aunties.
He performed well not just in school- and many were considered testimonies.

But tears, confusions, even fears wrapped his whole system,
He couldn't help himself to breath- he was a victim.
The real definition of life was vividly shown to him,
He realized, "We can't laugh all the time in this life, this isn't a funny meme."

But his saving chess pieces came unexpectedly,
He felt warmth as he beamed, gracefully.
Treasures of his life lift him up in a deep big hole,
He found a new reason to strive for a better and common goal.

And so he continue wandering in this magnificent world,
He entered the largest dimension of his 'dreamland' he called.
He started living in a daydream as he decided to draw for his career,
He once wanted to become a doctor: A dentist, yet he chose to be one of the smartest engineers.

Although, in life, he experienced innumerous obstacles,
Many reasons to give up, thousand trials he tried to surpass.
He couldn't bare to say sorry for something,
Instead, he wanted to pay the worth for everything.

And so he promised to himself and prayed to Him,
He will reach his dreams and sing their old hymn,

Saying...

"For I will live my life meaningfully,
For I shall smile at all cost, genuinely."
