By: Louisse Anne V. Barza of Grade 8C – Aristotle
Life’s not a contest—
no finish line,
no need to rush,
no need to shine.
Like a house bought now,
with more years to come,
the Lord won’t judge
where you’re from.
Happiness will come
to greet you soon,
or fill your home
beneath the moon.
Don’t cry—
get up,
give it a try.
A career that soars
or takes its time—
success is found
in the climb.
“One of the selected writers for January, highlighting the theme: New Beginning, New Voices.”
