A baby wants to be a child

So he can run across the miles

A child wants to be a pupil

So he no longer confines to the yard only

A pupil wants to go to high school

So he can ride motorbike and no more carpool

A high school student wants to become the university students

So there will be no school uniform but only the faded jeans

A university student is eager to graduate

So he can get rid of the credit hours and get the scroll

A graduate is eager to be employed

So he can get the payment and enjoy

An employee is waiting for the senior promotion

So he has more money and mightier challenge

A senior employee is eyeing for the senior manager

So the work is less technical and more on management

A senior manager is wishing for his own company

So he has everything and can do as he pleases

A company owner considers retiring

So he can rest, play and sleep likes a baby

But I thought a baby wants to be a child who wants to be a pupil who wants to be a high school student who wants to be in university who wants to be a graduate who wants to be an employee who wants to be a senior who wants to be a senior manager who wants to be a man of his own company who wants to be a baby

It is not confusing, it is forever funny

Is this the only thing this life means? Surely there is more than this simple cycle of wish. If we look a bit higher, if we see a bit further, if we think a bit deeper, this world offers more than what it seems.

There is something more precious than the worldly earth.

O, Allah. Show me. Hold me. Guide me.

we are no longer children
who need to cry to be heard
yes, we are indeed no longer children
as we only cry when they did not hear us
