A Cold Day In Beautiful London

by Rosalind Ho in London 25th Nov 24

The blistering cold shouldn’t be an obstacle to my goals

Even as it makes my teeth chatter, my lips quiver and my legs wobble

I have come here to ‘conquer’

To become braver in my moments of solitude

To step onto the cobble paths of England in the old towns

To bring back the imagination of ancient times

To savor how far civilisation has arrived

Let not any fear nor fantasy nor folly deter me

I am here to learn and grow

I shall be richer by the end of the day
