Am taking a breath from marking the exam papers. One paper down, two more to go…Not so bad now that I’ve actually marked the final exam answers; there’re just some assignments that I need to read and give marks to. So much for a holiday…
Was rummaging through my old bookcase in my room. Found some loose photos of me when I was very small and cute (found out that my cuteness decreases gradually as I age…). With that I also found an old (everything is OLD here!) photo album, probably my first.No more photos in there - presumably they have been transferred to another album - but I did found a poem written by my dad a day before my first birthday (this was when he was still exploring his creative side, I guess hehehehehe).
Before the yellow page (complete with corak awan larat as its borders) goes missing, I better save the poem here in the virtual world, and if I may, share it with you.
Impian
Biar sinaranmu bisa mengunjukku
Di bumi yang siang gelap ini
Betapapun impian ini tercuka
Betapapun bayangan syaitan bersidang
gempar membela bumi ini
Kau adalah impian kudusku
Dan Dia Maha Penimbang
Kau satunya bintang kebesaran buat
Pejuang - Bintang Timor.
Biar seribu abad
Harus gelar dan sinar takkan pudar
Di bumi ini.
Pada Nya buatmu dariku
Semuga kau terus bersinar.
Now, where can I find someone who’d write such poem for MY daughter?
