If I Follow my Heart

If I follow my heart, where will I be? Somewhere near Egypt, would be nice. Since I was a kid, I had always wanted to gaze to those Pyramids in Giza. The reason is beyond me, but it is still in my subconscious. It will be a scourging heat, but it never deter me in still longing for that place.

I would love to travel. But, somehow the places I had been were still not plentiful. I do not prefer the malls. It seems, if your in a mall, you've been to all the malls around the world, looks the same. Shiny window glasses, buy me expensive clothes & things display. If I went to a country, knowing the heart of it would be more exciting. Therefore, if I travel, a local friend would be a superb tour guide. Dangerous in a way, yet exciting too.

If I follow my heart, I would rather be a citizen of the Earth. Not restricted to my nationality, religion, race, norms and traditions. I would love to learn as much as I can about the other cultures of the surrounding countries in this world of ours.

If I follow my heart, I will build my son, a bigger house, then make it a home. Provide him with enough love & devotion, that he will carry it thru his life. I want him too, to be with me, when I will be seeing those places I wanted to see.

If I follow my heart, I will be with the person who loves me unconditionally, same as me.

But, following the heart has many restrictions; responsibilities, loyalty, pledges & honor.

Following our heart is easier said than done. We tried to set it aside, but it's there looming in the corner of our hearts. It keeps popping, but for now, that has to wait.
