A Love Affair Between a Megaphone and a Computer Mouse

This is a megaphone talking to a computer mouse...

People tell me that we are not meant to be
You are the quiet type while I'm always buzzing like a bee
You are there in your own little world, wired with binaries
Not uttering a sound, except for every-now-and-then clicking activities
So I maintained a distance away from you
But beyond my control, a voice from my heart keeps coming through
It gets louder and louder by the day
The sound of my heart beating amplified by the words you are too scared to say

My friends often say that you need to be dragged, pushed, clicked and rolled on to function
But I don't mind at all as long as we have this attraction
Even if you don't admit it, I know I make you light up too
It's not an optical illusion I see but the real stuff inside of you

Sometimes I feel that you're getting tired because I'm a nag
But honey, please understand that I just don't want this potential relationship to lag
Go on and be a wimp then
Sit there and be dense
But these loud feelings of mine could not be silenced
Never mind if you want to wait for a hand to make you move an inch to a yard
I guess I'll just be here calling your name from afar.

This poem was inspired by Sarah Kay's Love Letter series.

Maturity Checkpoints

I'm learning that maturity doesn't always come with age. What does it really mean to be mature?

Here's an excerpt from a lecture given by Charles Swindoll -

You know you’re mature:

• When your concern for others outweighs your concern for yourself
• When the presence of danger and evil is felt before it’s obvious
• When there’s more than knowledge, there’s wisdom
• When there’s more than strength, there’s stability
• When there are more than high ideals, there is the discipline to carry them out
• When there is not only an understanding of the tasks of life, but a willingness to share the responsibility

Maturity is the ability to do a job whether you’re supervised or not. It is the ability to finish a job once it’s started, to carry money without spending it, and to have the ability to bear injustice without getting even. Lastly, it is being willing to change once convinced that correction is in order.

I believe it is not just one of those points, but all that was given. And just like love or a good stew that needed a long simmer, maturity shouldn't be rushed, but it shouldn't be intentionally delayed either.

I hope we're all on the way there  =)
