Puisi

Aku orang tuamu, engkau anakku

Aku tempat tenang untukmu, engkau tempat gembira untukku

Aku memberimu wajah yang tenang, kau memberiku tawamu

Aku menunggu, engkau bergoyang

Aku makan malammu, engkau kue cokelatku

Aku waktu tidurmu, enkau saat terjagaku

Aku lagu nina-bobomu, engkau Ciluba ku

Aku ciuman selamat tidurmu, engkau cintaku

Daddy's Footsteps

“Walk a little slower, Daddy”,

Said a little child so small.

“I’m following in your footsteps,

And I don’t want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,

Sometimes they’re hard to see;

So walk a little slower, Daddy,

For you are leading me.

Someday when I’m all grown up,

You’re what I want to be;

Then I will have a little child

Who’ll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,

And know that I was true;

So, walk a little slower, Daddy,

For I must follow you.”

What children know

Children know laughter

They know tears

Children know peace

They know chaos

Children know acceptance

They know rejection

Children know joy

They know pain

Children know abundance

They know lack

Children know health

They know illness

Children know fulfillment

They know emptiness

Children know hope

They know dismay

Children know love

They know hatred

What they don’t know is WHY!

Give Love To The Children

Give Love to the children Children need love everyday Give love to the children Guide them on their way Love's like a burning flame consumes all that stands in the way Love is the only power on earth to take all the hatred away GIVE LOVE TO THE CHILDREN set the children free To make their own decisions then they will clearly see Love is the sun the moon and the stars love is a golden ring Love is the one thing the whole world desires be it beggar or king GIVE LOVE TO THE CHILDREN youth has not long to stay Love is a long term investment the best you will find any day Love like the rising sun takes all the darkness away Our children will tell their children and their childrens children will say Give love to the children they are our crock of gold and if perchance they ever stray they will come back to the fold Give love to the children the children of today Give love to the children and love will come to stay.

As I Grow

As I Grow 

~Author Unknown~

Please understand I am growing up and changing very fast.
It must be difficult to keep pace with me, but please try.

Please reward me for telling the truth.
Then I am not frightened into lying.

Please tell me when you make mistakes and what you learned from them.
Then I can accept that I am okay, even when I blunder.

Please pay attention to me and spend time with me.
Then I can believe that I am important and worthwhile.

Please help me explore my unique interests, talents and potential.
In order for me to be happy, I need to be me.

Please do the things you want me to do.
Then I have a good, positive model.

Please tell me by your words and actions that you love me.
Then I will feel loveable and will be able to love myself and others.

Poem for Parents

If

(by Rudyard Kipling)

If you can keep your head when all about you 
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; 
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, 
But make allowance for their doubting too; 
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, 
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, 
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, 
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; 
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; 
If you can meet with triumph and disaster 
And treat those two imposters just the same; 
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken 
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, 
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, 
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings 
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, 
And lose, and start again at your beginnings 
And never breath a word about your loss; 
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew 
To serve your turn long after they are gone, 
And so hold on when there is nothing in you 
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, 
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; 
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; 
If all men count with you, but none too much; 
If you can fill the unforgiving minute 
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - 
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, 
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
