We Are A Family....


WHILE SCAVENGING through one of the drawers just now, I came across this old photo of yesteryears "When I was young".... reminding me of the song "Only Yesterday" by Carpenters....

My Siblings.... I dont remember being close knitted with each other during our younger days, now when I recall back, we didn't really play together as brothers and sisters....funny though... each of us have our own "gang" or "clicks" to play with... as for me, I have my "gang" ie. my next door sundry shop kids, they were around my age. That goes the same for my brothers and sisters as well, they too have their own group of friends around the neighbourhood.

But of course we still quarreled among one another... I remember I used to wear my sister's clothes without her permission and each time she knew, she would scold me like mad... But the scolding was worth it then because most of her clothings were nice, she has a high taste for dresses, even until today. I cannot remember quarreling with my brothers though, perhaps of our gender, they dont't bully us girls.

We were the town people ... town people don't have trees to climb and fields to play football. So naturally, we didn't know how to climb trees nor swim in the rivers then ... the only place we frequent was a children's playground and we could only go with our parents then and not ourselves.

But now all had changed.... our childhood friends had gone....now we are a much closer family.... ...our age is not a gap anymore....we have the same passion now, our love for music and for our Lord Jesus Christ .......WE ARE ONE FAMILY....

When I was small....
And Christmas trees were tall....
