I Want To... Poem by Nomthi Lusiti

I want to forget about my misfortunes
And be grateful for my achievements
I want to forget about chances I missed
And be thankful of the opportunities I am enjoying
Because crying for spilled milk can blind me to see other opportunities.

I want to forget about the bad choices I made in the past
And respect the strong personality that came out of that
I want to forget the reasons for not being on top of the ladder
And appreciate still being at the race
Because every set back I experienced has added endurance in me.

I want to live my life as is
And be proud of what God has blessed me with
I want to make the best of what I have and am
And embrace the life God has given me
Looking forward to every blessing he has in store for me.
