hostage

Last night I had a dream. I dreamt I was walking..
travelling alone in a tunnel. It  was so dark and cold inside. I couldn't even see where and what I am stepping at...while walking, I was asking myself, what brought me here? and how can I get out of this dark place?
I was so afraid...I didn't even know where's the right way; and if there is, how could I find it?
And so, I kept on walking... I stepped into something slippery that I almost stumble.
I kept walking... and bumped into a huge rock. I fell  down and lost my right shoe.. but can still smile and make fun of it...
I kept walking and while whistling, I suddenly heard a loud sound..
like a  thunder, i felt so scared that I ran not knowing where I was heading. I bumped into something tall, rough and hard.. I touched it  and realized I was facing a wall  which means I had to find other way out...
I started  to feel heavy...my legs grew tired and my eyes felt swollen since I kept on looking  without any light to guide me... my tears began to flow but I didn't have any choice  but to keep walking... I felt so lost, and indeed  I was!
When I felt so helpless that I couldn't even make a single step; I realized I was so  tired...
I closed my eyes and started to  utter words of prayer. And as I do, a bright ray of light surprisingly came shining...when I opened my eyes, I found that I was late for work because it's already 11 o'clock in the morning.:)
As I prepare for work, I felt unusual. Perhaps because I don't dream that much? or  perhaps because my dream was so vivid that I almost thought it was real.
I realized that nothing  in this world is certain. Even life is a gift and a reason enough to be grateful for. I learned that life is not at all existence but knowing my purpose is the ultimate key to happiness.
We are all indeed hostages. Hostages of an uncertain future!  No one knows where are we heading, not even one knows when will our journey ends...
But as we live, we have to make use of everything that we have for good. We have to be the best that we can and make our lives worth existing...

when...

when i am sad YOU lift me up
YOU took my hand and held me high
when i feel down and all alone
YOU give me love, called me YOUr own…

there's no one else compares to You
and i cannot even explain
the more i feel, the more i see
how selfless is your love for me...
