A Cry

A cry can mean so much
It can mean thanks a bunch
A cry can be a call
When one gets a scold
A cry will show some tears
Of happiness or of sadness
You can even cry for help
Cry for love or even forgiveness

A cry should be sincere
So people can actually hear
That your cry has a thousand meanings
With a cry that shows your feelings
So if you are a girl or just a boy
A tear of water is not a toy
So next time do not be shy
For it is brave for one to cry.

I AM STRONG

I am strong…
I know I am strong
Weak is never in me,
Pain is nothing to me
because I am strong.

Sorrow and sadness…
Confidence I hold
Shivering and scared
I can always face
because I am strong.

Tears…
No big deal at all
Water I can always control
All these are because,
I am strong.

Voices of anger
Lost in the world of love.
Strength, believe in myself.
Taking care of me, I can
because I am strong.

I have faith in me
I have courage
Being looked down,
being scolded,
still I am strong.

Never give up.
Losing is not my principle.
Try again to get on top.
Climb as high as I could
because I am strong.

Patience…
Give a smile.
Each obstacle is a test.
Put my face up to the world
because I am strong.

Respect…
No need to shout.
Discipline I keep within me.
God as my guidance
because I am strong.

Because I am strong,
I can do almost everything.
Stand up and walk straight.
I have me, myself and I,
and God to keep me strong.

Boneka Hari Guru

Anak-anak tergelak riang
Masa yang ada tidak dibuang
Bercerita pagi dan petang
Tak kira Maghrib telah menjelang

Datang sekolah berbekalkan badan
Pensel, pemadam tak ada disimpan
Keputusan SPM semuanya sembilan
Sikit pun hati tidak terkilan

Apa nak jadi si anak-anak?
Guru mengajar anak berborak
Guru menangis anak bersorak
Guru menegur anak memberontak

Mana pergi hormat-menghormati?
Guru ibarat lilin membakar diri
Namun jasanya tidak dihargai
Malah guru dihamun, dikutuk, dibenci

Guru bagai si tabung uji
Anak menguji kesabaran peribadi
Guru melenting nak bunuh diri
Anak berpesta, gembiranya hati

Apakah makna Hari Guru?
Mengenang jasa, pengorbanan guru
Kini anak berprinsip baru
Guru hanyalah boneka berilmu.

One Masterpiece Of Thoughts

If laughter could be joy,
forever joy,
then pain shall never feel
the loneliness one hold
when one is cold
by angers.


What love can give to thee,
forever free,
from tortures of madness
of one who cannot breathe
with polluted souls
and hundreds evil treats.

So happiness is giving up
to the one you love,
to the one you really care.
If one can see the truth
of great sacrifice,
then angels will smile
and hatred shall not divine.

When Death Comes

We cannot really say when death comes.
I guess that is the time when we really appreciate life.
When it comes to someone we love, it is more painful.
Painful to breathe, painful to live, painful to mend our hearts.
People do not really know how to appreciate God’s gift.
They only ask and beg when it is taken,
but never thank when it is there.
Sometimes we do not even know how lonely it is until it is gone.
Sometimes we could not even say ‘I love you’ until we realize there is no one to love us.
We never care about the one we love,
Until one day there is no one to care about us.
Death, we cannot see, nor smell or touch.
But before death does come, I think it is time,
that we should say the things we want to say,
give the things we want to share,
appreciate the things we want to love,
and know that though death comes,
we had shared all the moments together,
without regrets.
