Years ago, each morning, I had to stash towels, colognes, baby powder, and my office uniform in the car, as I drove my kids to their school. Their classes started an hour and a half earlier than my work. This gave me a window of time to do anything I like. And so, I laced up my running shoes and hit the trails of Cebu Business Park grounds which is just behind their school.
This had become my morning regimen that in a way help improve my physical well-being.
Each run left me feeling rejuvenated and energized, enough to equip me in tackling the daily tensions later that day in my work.
Interestingly, there was this one tree in particular that became my sanctuary. No matter the weather, it provided shelter and comfort to me.
Beneath its branches, the cool morning air wrapped around me like a gentle embrace.
I could hear birds chirping above and insects buzzing around in the tall grass.
The scent of the air carried a sweet aroma of earth and greenery.
This transported me back to the carefree days of my childhood spent in nature.
It was here, beneath my beloved tree, that an inspiration struck me.
As I went inside the car, I got a piece of paper and a pen. I wrote this lovely poem, as it's thought and feeling still lingered in me that moment.
