My Mom

Aziz, someone told me you know. We must take care of mom. Why? It is because a mom is a person’s source of wealth. By taking care of mom, you can grow rich. My brother told me this, many years back.
So he did what he wanted to do. He got so rich now. As a result, the rest of us took the consequences I dare not describe.
Well, finally mom opens her doors to me. Not to my family but to me. She sent me a message through my nephew to ask me to come over to take the ‘daging korban’.
I am frightened more than sad, actually. My experience has been, anytime I come back, it is only a remake of the same drama. I cannot take it anymore.
We stayed away during both festivals, so far. Here’s for you mom.

Mom
Even it’s hidden
You know it
That I’ll always love you

Mom
Even it’s a distance
You know it
That I’ll always miss you

Mom
Even it’s faraway
You know it
That you are always on my mind

Mom
You know it
Because I’d always
Kiss you
Hug you
When we met

Mom
You know it
Far too well
I told you I’d stay away
But not in my heart

Mom
I love you
