Kesusahan

Kesusahan adalah satu pemberian
Tanpa keperitan, tiada tangisan
Tiada penilaian antara kebaikan dan keburukan

Kesusahan ibarat satu cabaran
Teguh apabila hampir runtuh
Cekal apabila kecewa
Bangun apabila jatuh
Sabar apabila dihina
dan gigih menempuh seruanNya

Kesusahan adalah sementara
Disamping mencari jalan yang penuh simpangnya
Kesusahan adalah pedoman
supaya hidup lebih bermakna

A Mother's Love

This poem was inspired from the poem 'Waiting For The Moment' and also Pn. Khatijah bt Ali (PK Koku, SMK Tmn Setiawangsa) as she wrote a Malay version entitled, 'Kasih Ibu' and requested that I wrote an English version.  Just trying to have fun with words.


A Mother's Love

Excited and anxious, feelings of joy.
No words to utter,
just faces and laughter.

Now that you are here, the bond unites.
The love is stronger,
as we walk together.

Our generations prolong, with the blood in your veins.
May we forever remain,
forever strong as a chain.

The day you started to speak,
reminds me of your motions and kick.
The emotions I carry,
will always be cherished dearly.

You are the soul, that enlightens my life.
One day you will fly, spread your wings up high.
And my love and affection, till death, will not die.
