This is your special day
the day when
caterpillar turns into butterfly
seed into flower
teen into adult
young into matured.
I welcome you, my friend,
to join the rank
to fly and crawl no more
to feel the endless sky
to see the bounty of life.
For you have been through
the pains of growing up
the helplessness of taking orders.
Now comes your turn,
to choose for yourself
to have mind of your own.
Exercise your caution
Apply your knowledge
Make your decision
Gain your experience
And remember,
always learn your lesson.
It's a beautiful life out there,
worth experimenting
worth appreciating.
On this special occasion,
a major turn point in life,
from the bottom of my heart
I make a simple wish,
that you will be always be blessed,
with the greatest courage
the greatest peace
no matter what comes your way.
~ A short note crafted at McDonald, Choa Chu Kang MRT
For a Li Ling who turned 21.

Today, a caterpillar has just turned into butterfly.
With your beautiful wings,
the sky is the limit.
Go fly,
it's an exciting world out there.
