From the day my eyes opened in this vast world of enormities,
From the time I realized I need to be equipped to face the hurdles of competition,
From the moment I have to develop the sense of maturity in the oceans of struggles,
Learning is the best weapon and shield to strongly survive in every storms of ignorance.
Learning every angles of life, I crafted each skill that I need to survive
From the young age far from the best teacher, I taught myself over and over again
Cooking, dressmaking, carpentry, plumbing, driving, baby-sitting, baking, singing,
public speaking, investor, cosmetologist, religious propagator, accounting,
auditing, trading, Qurán reading and teaching
If all the –ings give sense to this life, I shall not surrender to indulge it to be mine
My mother-in-law whispered upon my husband’s ears, “You found a treasure in her”
Oh! They said, “You’re such a jack-of-all trade”
Not to boast about, not to be proud of – but a power vested in my shoulder
“with great power comes great responsibility”, as Spiderman exclaimed
A responsibility that goes a long way, as long as we are still in this life
We are responsible to learn what makes sense for humankind
Learning not only for our own survival, but for all the people that surround us
People who will earn from your peculiar wisdom and soon be an inheritance
Be an example, an inspiration and a master
Master albeit humility
In the end it is a responsibility
Tell the whole world, you are a person with sensibility
Learning is an impetus, whilst ignorance is not an excuse
Yes, learning is free and acquiring knowledge is just a spree
We are in an era where everything is accommodated
Never be indolent, so get abreast and be acquainted!
