The Gift Of Friends
by Karin Schaefer

There are days when
bubbling from us comes
the innocent child within,
who giggles at the little things
and wears a silly grin.

There are days when
melancholy comes to
visit for a while;
the mind feels tired, the body weak;
we have no strength to smile.

There are days when
joy abundant
grabs a hold of you and me;
wraps us up in all it's splendor,
lifts us up and sets us free.

There are days when
sorrow wraps us
in its cloak of grief and fear,
'till our hearts ache to the breaking,
'till our eyes can't shed a tear.

There are days when
love bestows us
with its wonderment and light;
with its beauty and most of all the precious gift of friends.




The short span of 3 months was really life-changing.
The course enriched me with a spectrum of "eye-openers" academically,also manifested in interpersonal relations.
Everyday was simply too fruitful.One of the most conspicuous recall was the knowledge that durian trees exist in nie and people actually fight over durians.
Other than that,we've learnt where the "papa,and mamas"of resources stem from.
I'll certainly miss the food, and not to forget the avoirdupois gained after consuming them.

Thank You for sustaining me throughout the whole course,
and for friends that added life into my years.
It wasnt a bit easy.
