2325 HRS APRIL 15TH 2007

I was walking around Simei

as usual,

on a Sunday.

The air was filled

with music

from this blind street busker

singing James Taylor.

"I've seen fire,

I've seen rain.

I've seen sunny days

that I thought would never end

I've seen lonely times

when I really needed a friend

But I've always known

I'll see you again"

It suddenly occured to me

that although he is such

a talented singer,

nobody at the town centre

appreciated.

No one was even listening.

But he went on singing

anyway.

He was totally immersed

in his own blind

but musical world.

He did not sing

for our applause.

He did not sing

to crave our

appreciation.

He went right on singing

because it was his job.

In Life and in Love,

we should do the same.

We do our best

in our jobs

and in our relationships

and in love.

Even if

people do not show

appreciation

for how hard

we tried.

It should not matter.

We have our own personal

duty in life

to fulfill.

Even if my love

is not good enough

to keep her,

like the blind singer,

we go on doing

our very best,

its our personal duty

in Life

afterall
