Flow with the River of Life Flow.

 Flow with the River of Life

Flow gently with the river of life.

Do not struggle—let it carry you,

for it knows the way to the ocean of joy.

Along the journey, some companions may part.

They seek greener pastures, chasing illusions,

trading true jewels for glittering fakes.

Let them go.

Time is the great teacher—

it will show them the value of what they left behind.

You, who stayed true, will find peace

where the river meets the sea.

We never grow alone.

We never grow alone. Along our journey, countless hands have lifted us—supporters, caregivers, and silent helpers who shaped who we are today. Yet, in the rush of chasing dreams and personal fulfillment, we often forget the very people who paved the way for us.

Gratitude fades into the background as life gets busy, and the appreciation for the paths we've walked, and those who walked with us, is too often left unspoken. But it is vital to remember them—those who guided us, directly or indirectly, offering strength, wisdom, or simply a quiet presence when we needed it most.

It is only natural, and deeply human, to express our gratitude. Even when material gifts fall short, a sincere remembrance—a heartfelt note, a few kind words—can offer warmth and joy to those who once gave us theirs. Before time carries them beyond our reach, let us honor them, near or far, with the respect and love they so deserve.
