Hari Minggu ke-2 Mei di banyak negara di dunia diperingati sebagai hari Ibu. Sebenarnya aku jarang banget nulis puisi, cuma kalau lagi terinspirasi dan mood 😛
Memperingati hari Ibu di Singapura, aku mau berbagi puisiku yang pernah menang bingkisan $200 dari kosmetika Clinique tahun 2006. Terjemahannya gak usah aja ya… Dulu aku pernah nerjemahin juga, tapi file-nya entah di mana 😀
A tribute for Mother
Struggling between life and death, she gave birth to me.
With patience as deep as the sea, she taught me 123 and ABC…
She gave me strengths when I was bullied.
She said, “Don’t hear them. Trust me, you are brilliant.”
Fortunately, I heard her.
She is pretty, she is smart
I should thank her for that part,
aside from the invaluable values I was brought up.
Growing up, sometimes she is worrying too much.
But I know, deep down in her heart,
she always loves me no matter what.
