I believe the children are our future.
Teach them well and let them lead the way.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier.
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be.
I decided long ago never to walk on anyone’s shadow.
If I fail, if I succeed, at least I did as I believe.
No matter what they take from me, they can’t take away my dignity.
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me.
I found the greatest love of all inside of me.
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve.
Learning to love your self is the greatest love of all.
I can’t believe you just sang. ;p
Anyway, this song is definitely my favorite song. Not because I can fully relate to it or not because vanity is my favorite sin, it’s probably because of the simplicity of the words used, personal appeal of the melody and the timeless meaning of the whole song.
My second favorite song is “I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You” from the movie “The Mask of Zorro” while my third favorite song is “Halik ni Hudas” by Wolfgang.
Enough. (about songs)
This read is not about my favorite songs and their unique meaning to my life. (Maybe in my other reads)
Today I’m going to write about MY greatest love of all.
Even before grade school, I have already realized that loving one’s self and the significant people around you is the start of learning how to really love.
When I was in high school, I used to fill the body of my book reports with the lyrics of “The Greatest Love of All” in paragraph from. Surprisingly, I got good grades from these stupid book reports – Form-Over-Substance. It’s either my teachers loved the song too or they weren’t just reading the book reports.
When I was in college, I found my greatest love of all. In my eyes, she was the closest thing to “Perfection”. I wanted to be the greatest. I wanted to be loved. I wanted to be above all. I wanted to be perfect so I could come up to her and have a perfect relationship. But my imperfections rendered the whole perfect idea impossible. Something even greater held me back.
When I was already working, I struggled to become the best person that I could be. I wanted to become her knight in shining armor; her real-life prince charming. I wanted to become a thief in the night so I could steal her heart without her knowing. I wanted her to be mine.
During this time I realized my greatest love of all. I realized the magical beauty of loving without expecting anything in return. I learned to love unconditionally. More than just LIKE-ing her, WANT-ing her or NEED-ing her, I LOVE her. I love her to the point of letting her go.
She deserves a real knight in shining armor, not a struggling writer pretending to be one.
She deserves a real prince charming.
I’m just...simply charming. ;p
