I cannot do so many things like my younger brother. I do not know how he does it, like tying shoes. For me, it looks so difficult. Every time i promise myself i will do the first knot. But when i bend to start, i see the ground so near my eyes, i sometimes think i will hit the ground as i tie my shoe. So i look the other way, not my shoe. I can hear mom shouting, "Pete, focus." I try to tell her i am doing my best, but only tears flow down my heart. For you see, i learnt long time ago not to shed tears with my eyes. Now i cry with my heart.
I know everyone expects me to have learnt how to tie my shoe laces. I am a big boy now, as everyone keeps telling me. My best moment is when i play the piano. Last evening at the party, everyone was so happy when i played a difficult song. I was so happy. I almost cried real tears. But i remembered i am a big boy, so i cried with my heart, tears of joy.
It is in moments like this, when i say "This little light of mine, am gonna let it shine," even though i cannot tie my shoes.
